Sen. Mike Lee went after the Biden administration nominee to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives over what the Utah Republican called a "troubling, flippant" attitude toward gun owners.

David Chipman, former ATF agent and gun control advocate, appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this week in a sometimes contentious hearing.

Lee went after Chipman over his past statements on criminal background checks for gun purchasers and gun owners.

The senator took issue with this Chipman post on Reddit in 2019: "While at ATF I conducted studies involving people who failed background checks to determine how many later committed crimes with a gun — many did. This is a perfect opportunity to arrest people before committing crimes rather than responding after the fact."

Lee said Wednesday he found the comment "very troubling," especially for someone nominated to serve as ATF director.

Mike Lee was an anti-Trumper.  RINO.   He is now seeing, what he did with his lack of support.  Like ROMNEY. Because they follow the word of wisdom, they think they are republicans. Well, so does POTUS TRUMP!  No smoking, no drinking alcohol, no illegal drugs, does not even drink coffee.  No tattoos.

Lee mouths some pretty good words, but I can trust him about as far as I can throw an anvil.
