If Biden’s pick to head the ATF gets the nod, we’re all in trouble
By Andrea Widburg

Biden’s nominee to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, David Chipman, is a long-time gun control advocate. Putting him in charge of the ATF is a guaranteed attack on American’s Second Amendment rights. As Wednesday’s Senate hearing showed, the guy is also a crackpot and a liar.

If you check out leftist media outlets, including taxpayer-funded NPR, it’s clear that Chipman’s attraction for Democrats is his commitment to grabbing guns:

    Chipman is a veteran of ATF, where he spent 25 years as a special agent. He currently works as a senior policy adviser at Giffords, an organization that advocates for stricter gun laws and is led by former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., who was gravely wounded in a mass shooting in 2011. As part of Giffords’ group, Chipman has pushed for greater regulation of ghost guns.

    Chipman has advocated for the federal government to strike a balance that allows law-abiding citizens to own guns for self-defense, hunting and sport while also enabling law enforcement to prevent gun violence.

    He added that although all weapons can be dangerous in “the wrong hands,” certain firearms are particularly lethal and should be more strictly regulated.

I think they need to get the F out of the ATF and put it back to enforcing alcohol and tobacco tax laws.

Nowhere in the Constitution is there authority to have an Agency to regulate arms, which are the objects of a Right which shall not be infringed.

The F part of the agency only exists to collect a tax levied by an unconstitutional act, but has morphed into a tool to infringe on an enumerated Civil Right.
