This guy is total nut case. And I’m not kidding. There is no doubt that if he could he would make guns illegal right now. He flat out said modern sporting rifles should be outlawed, and tried to define an “assault weapon” as any rifle above a .22 that uses a detachable magazine. He’s completely nuts, and probably will be confirmed.

What’s more troubling is some Rs are willing to “compromise” to add more stringency to background checks. You can bet it will have language to keep tabs on every gun/ammo you buy in the future. Better stock up on ammo.

Plenty of bolt-actions use detachable magazines. Are those now “assault” guns?

He’s horrible. But, I just don’t see how he’s not confirmed. Even if Manchin votes no, there’s Collins and probably Romney.

If this happens, then the states better stand up and act to protect the 2nd Amendment and our gun rights.

On another thought. A Chinese leader once said something like it would be folly to attack the U.S. because there is a gun behind every bush. I wonder if the Democrat coziness with the Chinese (especially Biden) could be one reason for the Democrat anti gun and anti 2nd Amendment position.

What kind of nut poses in front of a burned body like that?

Sickening.

As Adolph Hitler put Jew Haters in charge of the Jews in Eastern and Western Europe. Biden is pitting haters of America in charge of Americans in America. The results will probably be the same. More to come!

In fairness to the idiot, I believe semi-auto was a requirement in his definition.

Give it time. They'll get around to flintlocks once everything else is banned.

"What kind of nut poses in front of a burned body like that?"

A Democrat Marxist who intends to disarm us and then persecute or kill as many of us as are not true believers in their NWO dictatorship. Democrats are now in total control and intend a dictatorship. They love what they see in the CCP and want to do the same or worse throughout the world. Biden just said that Jan 6 was the worst assault on the Capitol since the civil war. History has been erased and is no longer taught in the public schools. The Marxists are going to enslave or kill all who are not true believers IMO.

What kind of nut poses in front of a burned body like that?

Someone who thought (at the time) that establishing his mass-murder bona fides on film would be a good idea. Which is probably why the Deep State wants the guy as ATF Administrator.

Remember, between the Bush 41 era incident at Ruby Ridge and the Waco mess under Clinton, ATF was both controversial and powerful. Many believe Waco was a showboating event designed to get them an even bigger piece of the funding pie - but it was actually more than that. Here's a comment I snipped from another forum:

****

"The entire Waco operation was designed for the specific purpose of cowing various militias around the country, especially the vocal sabre rattling Michigan Militia. What better way than an overwhelming show of force by murdering some nut jobs whose few guns were no serious threat to tanks, APC's and snipers given the green light to gun down survivors fleeing the fire?

Whatever supremacy fedgov.org thought they got from this went up in blast and dust at the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. It shook the feds to the core that a small group of determined men (two or three depending on how involved you think the third one was) took out an entire federal building. This small scale asymmetrical warfare "shock and awe" by basically home grown terrorists altered federal show of force policy.

It is significant that the feds have not had any more Wacos since. To be sure they've gone after some ranchers, and managed to kill one at a roadblock, but at one of the events the feds backed way down when a lot of armed citizens showed up. The level of anger from a lot of people probably had the feds worrying about triggering another Murrah event. Unintended consequences and all that. And of course it would not be good for their image should the event get out of hand and the feds had their asses handed to them. Their choice really boiled down to escalating with tanks, APC's, more boots on the ground and bring lots of body bags, or withdrawing and waiting for when they could cordon off and completely control access to such an event (which they did in SE Oregon)."

****

So yes, I'm sure that David Chipman thought his tough-guy photo with the smoldering corpse in the background was a great idea. Even after the bloody push-back mentioned above, the fact that Chipman and his supporters still refuse to disavow the Waco operation is both appalling and a direct warning. They are once again on the offensive.

Any Republican who votes for this anti gun zealot is an enemy of America and is helping the Marxist Democrats take down the country.
