Biden ATF Nominee ‘Frustrated’ By First Amendment Freedom Of Gun Owners To Say Things He Doesn’t Like

David Chipman, President Joe Biden’s pick to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATF), said in 2019 on national television that it is frustrating the U.S. government cannot violate people’s right to bear arms if they use “hate speech” on the internet.

“The frustration is in the United States the freedom of speech and to say things is largely cannot be regulated,” Chipman said on BBC. ” …We have to do more to monitor hate speech on the internet. But we also have to do more to curb that same speech being presented by our president and other elected public officials.”

“The FBI, other federal agencies, have a tough job responding to these threats when they don’t currently have the authority to remove weaponry just because people are saying hateful things,” he also said.

Wow... eliminate rights because someone says something you don't like. Did anyone ever think this practice, seen historically in places like ancient Rome, recent Germany, China, Russia, etc would ever happen here in the United States?

I find his comments hateful.   Can we take away his 2nd Amendment rights?

This is fundamental among leftists today, top to bottom.

Someone says something you don’t like, punish them. There must be no dissent.

There's nothing more annoying to the fascists of the Biden Administration (including would-be members of same) than the First and Second Amendments.
