Chuck Canterbury, President Trump's nominee to serve as head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, is likely to see his nomination withdrawn due to stringent opposition from Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, the Washington Free Beacon learned on Thursday.
"Chuck Canterbury does NOT have sufficient support in the Judiciary Committee and is now expected to be held up instead of getting a vote today," a GOP Senate aide told the Free Beacon on Thursday morning. "Republican members are (1) Concerned about his stances on gun control, and (2) there is still some bad blood for him flipping the Fraternal Order of Police in support of the First Step Act (after opposing the more moderate version), allegedly in exchange for the ATF Director nomination."
"His 2A views are bad and he'd lose a lot of votes in committee," a second Senate source told the Free Beacon. "We expect the White House will pull him given lack of support from Republicans on the Judiciary Committee."

Ping.
Good.
I wonder who’s recommending these nominees? I’ve got an idea and his name starts with a J.
There are far better candidates out there to substitute for the flawed Canterbury.
I don’t know this guy. But Trump has not been able to get the people he wants past the congress. I think this is why there are still so many traitors in his administration. Mitch will not let Trump set-up his own executive branch. Just my opinion.

Is the last initial K?
shut down ATF now! let’s get back to lawful government in WashDC
Good work by those Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee! Don’t allow Canterbury to be confirmed.
We don’t need a commie police state. More Second Amendment freedom will make the jobs of police easier. Imagine more often only investigating a scene without needing to play games with criminals. If decent private residents want to do continuing training, carry insurance and deal with the aftermath, why not?
He is PRO 2nd A?? I HATE POLITICIANS!

Whomever is recommending people for Trump’s staff is constantly stabbing him in the back.
“Whomever is recommending people for Trump’s staff is constantly stabbing him in the back.”
I see that too, since the beginning.
” I’ve got an idea and his name starts with a J.”
I have a feeling you’re right.
LOL. So now the GOP Senate is the great bastion of 2A defense? Knock me over with a feather.
Odd story. There is obviously something else going on her. Most likely a personal dislike more than 2A related.
I don’t know anything about this guy. Does anyone have a link with some of the concerns about him?
Never mind. After reading through the article, he's definitely a no-go.
