White House silent on if it's confident Biden's beleaguered ATF nominee will be confirmed by Senate

'The president gets to pick who he wants to nominate,' Psaki said in April.

President Biden’s nominee to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) is in hot water as the White House has yet to say if the administration is confident he will be confirmed.

David Chipman, Biden's pick to lead the ATF, has been in the hot seat throughout his Senate confirmation process as a slew of lawmakers and organizations have come out in opposition to his nomination.

On Wednesday, the firearms industry group National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) announced that for the first time in its 60-year history, the organization is launching a TV ad targeting Chipman, asserting that Chipman wants to "ban guns." NSSF leaders told Fox News they envision a political purpose lurking behind Biden's choice of Chipman, who previously worked for former Rep. Gabby Giffords' gun control organization.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Hopefully, he is rejected. But I'd bet the critters and underlings are searching for someone more rabid and less outspoken even now.
How God must weep at humans' folly! Stand fast! God knows what he is doing!
Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Free states have already decreed that they will ignore federal gun regulations just like liberal states have decreed they will ignore federal immigration laws. The liberals established a precedent with immigration "sanctuary" cities and states. Now that same principal will rule in "2d amendment" sanctuary cities and states.
