Retired former Waco-era ATF supervisor and gun control policy consultant David Chipman is set to go before the Senate this week – with the ringing endorsement of the most anti-gun groups in the country.
Chipman is likely to be half-welcomed with open arms, half-grilled on Wednesday before the U.S. Senate's Judiciary Committee for his nomination to an appointment by President Joe Biden as the nation's top gun regulation boss. If you look at the hearing as a wrestling match between two sides in the American gun debate, Chipman's walkout song dropped last week in the form of a three-minute video released by the Brady Campaign, the Community Justice Action Fund, Everytown, Giffords, and the Sustain Equity Group, roping in other former ATF agents to support his nomination as the next director of the agency.
Rather than waxing warm and fuzzy in the age of hyperawareness over fatal encounters with law enforcement, the video apparently salutes Chipman as being in the vanguard of ATF raids.
“There’s something I can say about David Chipman that every special agent, every police officer in the country will snap to. And that is that I would go through a door with David Chipman anytime," says Mark Jones, a retired ATF Special Agent.
Bloomberg-funded Everytown and Giffords – whose co-founder, Mark Kelly, is now a U.S. Senator and would have a floor vote in Chipman's looming confirmation – are spending $150,000 to run the ad on TV and digital platforms through May 27 in the Washington media market. Additionally, Giffords is running a text campaign to pressure lawmakers in the Senate for his confirmation.

Feds always delude themselves into thinking State and local officers look up to them.
ATF is an unconstitutional jack boot fed LEO socialist globalist entity; that should have been abolished a long long time ago instead they grow and grow.

I will call my senators tomorrow and tell them to vote NO on this guy.
“F-Troop.”
They hate that nickname.
Heh.
looks like we’ll be having some more deals like the Branch Davidian Massacre.
Is there anybody in the BATFE that is pro-gun?
I have met two ATF Agents that were very progun. This is out of four. That said I doubt the whole agency has a 50% ratio - especially back East.
The ATF is anti gun. That’s the whole idea.
I'm even going to hold my nose and call Traitorous Toommey, for what good it will do.
