David Chipman, the gun control activist who President Biden nominated today to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) claimed last year that members of the Branch Davidian sect shot down two helicopters during a standoff with federal agents in Waco in 1993. That is certainly an odd statement considering it didn’t happen and Chipman served 25 years with the ATF.
Chipman posted the comments as part of a Reddit “Ask Me Anything” event and even posted a photograph on the Reddit thread to confirm his identity. In response to a comment about the Waco siege from a participant that asked whether any crimes have been committed with .50 caliber Barrett rifles, Chipman wrote:
At Waco, cult members used 2 .50 caliber Barretts to shoot down two Texas Air National Guard helicopters. Point, it is true we are fortunate they are not used in crime more often. The victims of drug lords in Mexico are not so lucky. America plays a role in fueling the violence south of the border.
While the Branch Davidians did reportedly shoot at helicopters, none were shot down. He has been listed as a top “conspiracy” candidate on Reddit.
Agreed 100%.
This POS should be cooling his heels in jail for the rest of his life.
Yes, I agree.
I remember one of the agents turning back Koresh’s mother saying, “I hope
you’ve said your good-byes.”
Someone should have beaten his ass to a pulp for that.
Thanks
Has anyone seen this guy? He talks and acts like a total lunatic.
God help us.
Yep, the guy acts like he would not have a problem sending people to the gas chambers.
Reason and common sense isn’t in him.
I saw that. Wow, now that is probably what the Biden admin has in mind.
Did you ever see “Wrong Turn”?
