Joe Biden Breaks Promise to Put Beto O’Rourke in Charge of Gun Control

Joel B. Pollak 8 Apr 2021

President Joe Biden broke his 2020 promise Thursday to put former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) in charge of gun control efforts. Instead, he named gun control activist David Chipman to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.

The White House announced Chipman’s appointment as one of six executive actions that President Biden is taking on gun control, ahead of any effort to pass a bill acceptable to Congress:

Quote
The President will nominate David Chipman to serve as Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. ATF is the key agency enforcing our gun laws, and it needs a confirmed director in order to do the job to the best of its ability. But ATF has not had a confirmed director since 2015. Chipman served at ATF for 25 years and now works to advance commonsense gun safety laws.

Biden continues to make fools out of NeverTrumpers and their assertions about during and after the election.  Do fools ever tire of being fools?

And I was so hoping the skate boarding felon would be Biden's face for gun control.  It made so much sense.  Darn!

No, they made fools out of themselves, precisely by being anti-Trump.

And they're too arrogant to realize what normal Americans see in them.

Doesn't matter.  There's a threshold which it just doesn't matter any more.   If 5 grams of arsenic is fatal (I don't know), then does it matter if your enemy feeds you a pound?

No matter who Obama appoints to the role, the guy is going to be enough poison to cause great harm.

Better to have Chipman than Beto who knows nothing about nothing.

"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 stated that the Branch Davidians shot down helicopters. This is not true. In fact, it's nuts.

This is from a Reddit post he made:

The difference between two fanatics is inconsequential, I don't care how many years he worked at ATF.

But, but he worked at ATF for twenty five years so he must know what he's talking about, no? As if someone putting in pension time at a government job has anything to do with competence, eg, Lunch Box Joe, Teddy Chappaquiddick, Bourbon Boehner...........

@corbe

You don't understand that from the POV of the Dim insiders that one of them who has spent years working inside the system and sucking up to the Dim powers that be would be prefered by them over some freak from Texas they barely know?

ESPECIALLY one who has spent his entire career working with an official goobermint anti-gun agency?

Well, Joe had to have someone who knows how to head up things, so Pete had to be the one.
