BREAKING: Key Senator Says “NO” to Chipman for ATF Head
A Keystone State Senator, Pat Toomey, is the key to keeping the ATF Chipman-free.
If you’ve been reading Guns and Gadgets Daily, and our sister publication Freedom’s Lodge, then you already know that President Joe Biden’s nominee for ATF head, David Chipman, would be disastrous for gun rights in America. The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the trade association for the firearm and ammunition industry, has just notified us that we have something to be grateful for as we roll into this summer weekend: Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) has announced that he will not support Chipman’s nomination.
All it’s going to take to dustbin the Chipman nomination is one more centrist Democrat to say, “No, my constituents don’t like the idea of being immolated alive by a man who doesn’t even know what ‘semi-automatic’ means.” Let’s hope we can find one willing to vote with his or her heart instead of along party lines. The NSSF’s statement is below.

This bold and decisive announcement is critical to ensuring the ATF remains a fair and impartial law enforcement and regulatory bureau and not a political tool of gun control special interests.
“On behalf of the firearm and ammunition industry, the 13,000 hardworking Pennsylvanians whose jobs depend on the firearm industry, millions of lawful Pennsylvania gun owners and Second Amendment supporters, we thank Senator Pat Toomey for his strong and principled stand to protect the rights of law-abiding Americans. This decision protects the men and women of the ATF working hard each day to carry out their critical mission,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “David Chipman’s nomination is clearly a move to politicize the ATF. Confirming a gun control lobbyist as director would not only do irreversible damage to ATF’s mission but it would also harm the cooperative relationship between our industry members and ATF.”
Members of the firearm industry have a long-standing and cooperative relationship with the ATF to achieve compliance and keep firearms out of the hands of those who are not allowed to possess them. NSSF has supported every ATF director nomination that has been reported out of the Senate Judiciary Committee, including President Barack Obama’s nominee, B. Todd Jones, who was confirmed by the Senate.
Keane added, “NSSF encourages President Biden to withdraw the nominee and nominate an unbiased, more qualified person to run ATF, someone the industry could support.”

Hunter Biden’s falsifying a federal firearms form made him a felon. When are the gun grabbers going to demand for his arrest? Joe Biden’s son above the law? Rules Joe?
And his sister in law from taking the handgun, without a permit.
Defund the ATF thugs. The organization is unconstitutional and repressive.
Let them go back to collecting the taxes on alcohol and tobacco like they were originally intended. Better yet, the repeal of prohibition should have eliminated them completely back in 1933. Enforcement of firearms-related laws (not bureaucratic regulations) should not be done by the treasury department. Giving them control over firearms and explosives was another major government mistake.
Or a deliberate and malicious move toward destroying our Second Amendment in order to turn us into a dictatorship. The Butcher of Waco needs to go down in flames along with all anti-gun laws which were designed to entrap honest gun owners
Don’t need Killer SOB’s like him anywhere in our government!
We don’t need the Biden crime family in our government either.
Chitman is one weird dude. When I saw video of this clown testifying I thought what the hell is that. He looked like something from another planet. Having Toomey say no is good but we need some democrats to say no. The Biden admin. has been a disaster for this country. I think we will mostly be Ok though as people are seeing just how screwed up Joe and his comrades are with our freedom and will say HELL NO in November 2022. The problem is what damage they do between now and then.
The man is a total idiot. He told the panel the SWAT team issued him his gun, the AR.
Send “Chapman “ back to Waco Texas!
I’m sure they have someone just as disgusting in the wings!!
yep, probably bring back Holder !
Biden won’t withdraw that goon! He’s exactly what all the gun haters, inuding Biden himself, want!
Besides, Biden doesn’t even remember that he nominated Chippy.
