David Chipman Compares First-Time Gun Buyers to ‘Tiger King’
Breitbart ^ | 21 Jul 2021 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 07/21/2021 11:06:41 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

A video apparently made during the Spring 2020 surge in gun sales shows ATF nominee David Chipman mocking first-time gun buyers as “Tiger King.”

The video, posted by RNC Research, shows Chipman sitting in a kitchen, mocking first-time gun buyers, saying, “In their mind, they might be confident, thinking they are die hard, ready to go. But unfortunately, they’re more like Tiger King, and they’re putting themselves and their families in danger.”

He then referenced first-time gun buyers as if they were all preppers, suggesting that first-time gun owners should “secure [their] gun locked and unloaded, and hide it behind the cans of tuna and beef jerky that you have stored in a cabinet. And only bring that out if the zombies start to appear.”

(Snip)

During Senate confirmation hearings Chipman affirmed his support for a ban on AR-15s. Fox News quoted him telling Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), “With respect to the AR-15, I support a ban as has been presented in a senate bill and supported by the president.”

Considering that many (if not most) of those first time buyers are lefties this may not be bad advice.

I’d say buy a gun but get training.

Gun control should be mandated safety handling of firearms.

I’ve never understood all this demonization over a 20 caliber rife. A rifle that’s not nearly as powerful as the standard deer rifles which are millions of hunter’s closets.

“Gun control should be mandated safety handling of firearms.”

before I let anyone go with me to the range to shoot my guns I require them to listen to my 25 minute gun safety lecture. It is quite sufficient. If you are new to firearms just seek out an experienced and responsible shooter or hunter and they can tell you what you need to know with regard to gun safety.

Only if they buy the gun, but don’t take weapons training, you douche-canoe.

This guy is so intelligent that he said he favors banning assault weapons. Then he was asked to define an assault weapon. He could not even come up with a ridiculous description. He was dumbfounded. How stupid do you have to be to put yourself in that position?

Maybe they want to defend themselves. At one point we were all first time gun buyers.

1 - Every gun is loaded and should be handled and treated as such.

2 - Never point a gun at anyone and watch out when moving the barrel around so you don’t accidentally do it. Point it down. Refer to #1.

3 - Don’t put your finger on the trigger until your ready to shoot. Refer to #1 and #2.

Many other rules but I start there. Once you pull the trigger you can’t put the bullet back or unshoot something.

David Chipman has the mentality of a five year old. What is he talking about when he mentions Tiger King? U do not get the parallel. He obviously does not have much to work with in the way of brain power if this is the best he can come up with when talking about guns. He is not a suitable candidate for head of the ATF. Biden is a numscull for putting up for it.

Huh? I got all the training I needed to handle a gun safely in 10 minutes at summer camp when I was 9 years old, at the same time as dozens of other boys. Guns are pretty simple, 18th century technology, and someone with a modicum of common sense could teach himself to handle a gun safely by reading the manual.

The idea that guns are frightening, complex mysteries, that can only be even touched after expensive and elaborate "training" is a leftist one.

BS… Bought my first handgun (9mm) last year when I moved to Texas. Took the Concealed Carry License training course and passed. It’s stored in my nightstand, loaded with safety on. Know how to use it, and practice regularly. Tough to but ammo though.

LOL they want you to think guns are mysterious and dangerous and difficult to use. When it comes right down to it, you just point it at the bad guy and pull the trigger. Of course there is thought and training that go before. I had a buddy at ATF who thought only ATF should have weapons. They are indoctrinated from the get go. I would put the weapons intelligence and awareness of the average Freeper favorably above the average ATF or FBI agent. Obviously they are not up to the task of protecting average citizens.

“Flimsey Grahamnesty will vote for whatever lunatic Senile Joe appoints.”

And so will your dipsh*t senators in Virginia. Is there a reason why you don’t attack your democrat senate buddies in Virginia? You spend 99% of your time on FR to attacking Graham, and 0% time attacking your senators in Virginia.

Everybody already knows that Warner and Kaine are idiots.
They are Democrats.

Some people still don’t know about Flimsey Grahamnesty.
His R jersey camouflage confuses them.
