Biden ATF Nominee Shocks When Asked If 'Law-Abiding' Gun Owners Are a Threat

Conservative Brief ^ | 5/26 | Martin Walsh

David Chipman, who was selected by Joe Biden to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, made a slew of terrifying comments about how he would lead the agency.

During his confirmation hearing Wednesday before the Senate, Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz got Chipman to admit that he supports a ban on one of the most popular guns sold in the United States.

“With respect to the AR-15, I support a ban, as has been presented in a Senate bill and supported by the president,” David Chipman told Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

Then, later in the hearing, Chipman -- who has served as an adviser to gun control groups -- caught many off-guard when he seemed to suggest that "law-abiding" gun owners could be a threat.

CHIPMAN: “Senator, you asked me if ATF had used this term and I was sharing with you my knowledge of a program in which ATF has defined this term, and it is in the Demand Letter 3 program and that rifle is a semi-automatic rifle capable of accepting a detachable magazine with a round greater than a .22 caliber. And in those cases firearms dealers on the southwest border are required to make a multiple sale report to ATF.”

Unless it was in some other reality, Senator Cotton DID NOT ASK this asshat if the ATF had used the term “assault Rifle”. Cotton asked how the NOMINEE would define the term. So the jerk launches right into obfuscation and revising the question to one he’d rather answer. No way should this game-playing misdirecting liberty-hating Clinton-clone be head of the ATF.

this life long Georgian says thanks Georgia Republicans who stayed home during the Senate runoffs. You have come close to destroying our country.

All of them could have shown up and they would still have lost. The Democrats decided they were going to win by any means necessary. Don't you get it yet?

[TexasGurl24]

This piece of trash was the senior policy advisor at Giffords gun grabbers.

He was also at Waco and participated in the killings there.

The only thing “shocking” is that he actually said what he believes rather than hiding it.

[vpintheak]

I am sick to death of beta-males trying to run our lives.

[TexasGurl24]

Nope. 250,000 morons listened to the lunatic ramblings of Lin Wood and stayed home. If HALF of them had showed up again in January, we wouldn’t be in this spot.

The left is playing the moron class like a fiddle.

[Tell It Right]

In Dim logic the only people they want to have guns are cops.

The same cops the Dims say are pure evil. I'm sure that makes sense to pajama boy liberal arts self-styled heroes of the feminist movement. But it'll never make sense to this plain and simple Alabama boy working as a software engineer in Huntsville.

Former ATF Agent present at the Waco massacre lectures Senators on the dangers of law-abiding gun owners.

[tallyhoe]

consider overpaid stupid tyrannical bureaucrats a threat, so we’re even.

Me too!! You can’t trust any of them anymore!!!

[Antoninus]

Nope. 250,000 morons listened to the lunatic ramblings of Lin Wood and stayed home. If HALF of them had showed up again in January, we wouldn’t be in this spot.

Again, I maintain that even if they all showed up, it wouldn't have mattered. The Left would have manufactured enough votes to win. If that's not clear to you yet, there may be no hope for you.

[DarthVader]

Chipman will think about these statements when he lined up against a wall then shot about 500 times with AR15’s Ceausescu style!

[Chode]

this POS breaths by the grace of LAW ABIDING gun owners...

[drypowder]

This traitorous communist DC criminal government is without question the biggest threat this country has ever faced and our Founders knew this day would come. This current crop of DC criminals are scared to death of an armed citizenry for the armed US citizenry is the last bastion of freedom not for just the US but for the entire world.

[Bonemaker]

I wonder how that preserved Union (Zentral) government is working out for everybody?

[TexasGurl24]

Let me guess: “IZ NOTTA VOTINGZ NO MORAH!!!” and “DOMINONZ!!!” and “Lizard people in DA MACHINZ!!”

[PJ-Comix]

Chipman the Chipmunk.

[PerConPat]

Yep...I would like to hear his reccommendations on exactly how Congress should implement a ban on a firearm presently in the possession of 15 or so million Americans. The more these anti-2A fanatics are put on the public record, the better...

[Antoninus]

Let me guess: “IZ NOTTA VOTINGZ NO MORAH!!!” and “DOMINONZ!!!” and “Lizard people in DA MACHINZ!!”

We live in Mexico now. Get used to it.

The United States in 2020—and Mexico in 1988

[TexasGurl24]

Sorry, I don’t read coward blogs and I don’t listen to the opinion of surrender monkeys.

[Carriage Hill]

I could remedy that, in a second..

[old curmudgeon]

If 100,000 more repubs had shown up to vote, there would have been 125,000 more fraudulent votes to cover them.

You are the one who does not get it.

And you are the moron...frantically yelling “put on more band aids” on the cancer patient who really needs surgery.

The problem is not band aids (Mom and Pop votes).

The problem is surgery (Complete restructure of our voting system from who gets to vote and how we identify them to how we record and who manages the process).
