Biden to Name Gun Control Wonk, Waco Agent, as ATF Boss
Guns.com ^ | 4-8-21

Posted on 04/08/2021 12:11:28 PM PDT by Darren McCarty

The White House announced Wednesday that President Biden will nominate longtime Giffords policy advisor and former ATF agent David Chipman to lead the nation's gun regulatory agency.

Chipman, whose bio submitted to Congress in relation to his role in testifying in support of recent gun control measures, details that he has been with Giffords since 2016, having come to that anti-gun group after previously working for Bloomberg-founded Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Prior to that, he was with the ATF from 1988 to 2012, including running the agency's Asset Forfeiture Program, leading the Detroit Field Division, and serving as "Case agent in [the] Branch Davidian trial" while working in the Waco, Texas, field office.

I was a teenager in Northern Michigan back in 1993. Everybody had guns. One of the most significant events that influenced my politics to this day was the Waco siege. As I learned more about what happened, my shock turned to outrage at the jackbooted government thugs. I have never forgotten that.

The scariest part of Biden's announcement today is his pick for the BATF. David Chipman was the BATF case agent in the Waco Massacre. He was part of that operation that murdered women and children. He belongs in prison, not anywhere near a badge.

For those of us that lived around the nutcase Koresh, his abuse of children was why everyone knew he burned the compound and not the FBI.

Koresh was as sick as they come and his "followers" were either terrified of him or complicit in his sick abuse.

I’ll never forget when he got a local radio DJ to read off one of his rants so he would let more kids out. He never did. Total scum of the earth.

So now we know the Waco was just a dry run. And that they worse is yet to come. The question is, will the Feds really allow Active Duty military to roam the streets, invade homes and kill citizens in an attempt to collect known weapons? Waco was a clear violation of due process. And everything the feds did violated every known laws, and they covered it up.

It is interesting that McVeigh, a guy who voted for Clinton, was so angry that he took this to the extreme. Did he feel betrayed by Clinton? Also it was Terry Nichols who went to the Philippines to meet with Al Qaeda operatives to learn how to make the bomb. Why is he still alive and McVeigh was put to death? We Nichols working with the CIA? Remember, during that time the CIA was arming and working with Al Qaeda. So they had to know Terry met with them. The question not asked, did the CIA set up the meet for Nichols? Did the CIA know it was going to happen and allowed it? Too many questions

So CS gas and open flames are a “conspiracy theory”? Right?

The 'pubs should play the 'rats game and inquire why no POC's were nominated for the position.

Is Biden inferring that no minorities are qualified to lead the ATF?

That’s nonsense. The fire was started by the tanks pumping in burning gas into an unsafe wooden structure. And yeah he was crazy. But F-troop caused that disaster.
They wanted to search for illegal machine guns. The search had no child abuse nexus. The feds lied and said there were drugs there in order to get military support.

That assault style raid was simply not needed. All the ATF had to do was have two men in suits knock on the front door. The proof? The McClennan County sheriff arrested him on a murder charge a few years earlier in just such a manner. He offered no resistance. At trial he was acquitted,

ATF wanted a big flashy PR raid.

And as an aside, he went to lunch every week at the Chelsea Street Pub at Waco mall. They could have simply arrested him.

He was a nut but the Feds utterly screwed that up.

At the Waco hearings Sinner Chuck Schumer stated that he did NOT care that the ATF and FBI had lied during the hearings (and were exposed in their lies). He said that “both sides” were doing it.

“So now we know the Waco was just a dry run.”

The ATF lost four killed and several more jacked up bad. They can’t survive too many “dry runs” like that.
