To the Phones! Last Chance to Oppose Chipman for ATF Head
If the Second Amendment isn’t enough for your Senator, maybe their re-election chances will be.
Out of the 300 million Americans that Joe Biden could have chosen to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), David Chipman is the worst possible one. Having earned his bones killing Branch Davidians and then having put those bones to work as a lobbyist for Giffords, a gun-control organization, Chipman’s loathing for the Second Amendment is unparalleled.
The fact that the Second Amendment exists and Shall Not be Infringed may not be enough to convince your Senator that Chipman’s nomination as head of ATF should be scuttled. If that’s the case, it’s time to let them know that something they really care about is on the line: their re-election chances. The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) has a phone number for you to call to let your Senator know that. The Capitol switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.
“When a nominee for the top post at the agency responsible for enforcing the nation’s firearms regulations can’t define what he believes an ‘assault weapon’ is, that raises alarms,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “By the time he actually provided some semblance of an answer, he was merely quoting a policy that essentially applies to every semiautomatic centerfire rifle on the planet. Nobody who subscribes to such a catch-all definition of a firearm that really doesn’t exist should lead the ATF.
“It is equally alarming,” he continued, “that Mr. Chipman has been employed for the past few years by Giffords, one of the nation’s leading gun prohibition lobbying organizations, as a senior policy advisor. There is absolutely no appearance of fairness or objectivity in this nomination, and his performance before the Senate Judiciary Committee leaves serious doubts about his perspective on gun rights and the Second Amendment, and how he would approach the job if confirmed.
“Chipman’s nomination has the appearance of political patronage to an organization that steadfastly supports the president’s gun control agenda,” Gottlieb said. “Out of all the potential candidates to lead the agency, Joe Biden has picked the one individual whose nomination was guaranteed to ignite a political firestorm. At this point, it is fair to question why the president has done this. It looks like the president wants to put the gun prohibition lobby in charge of firearms regulation and enforcement.
“Throughout his political career,” the CCRKBA chief recalled, “Joe Biden has portrayed himself as a tough guy, and here he is deliberately provoking a fight with tens of millions of law-abiding American citizens by nominating a man who seems eager to step on their rights, for no other reason than to show he can get away with it. That’s not the characteristic of a national leader who pledged to bring the country together. That’s something a bully does for an ego boost.
“This is a bad nomination,” Gottlieb concluded. “It’s bad for the cause of unity, it’s bad for the Constitution and it’s bad for the country.”
To the phones! That number again is (202) 224-3121.
Chipman is evil, unamerican, and unfit to lead the ATF. Biden had no business nominating him in the first place. Biden is just about as bad a person as Chipman is. We must keep Chipman out of office (ATF) in order to keep our guns.
Some of the pictures I have seen of this guy he looks like a psychopath! When he was in his early 20’s standing over the burnt out rubble of the Davidians is nothing to be proud of. Burnt remains of little infants and women is horrific and to stand for a photo op is sick! Chipman is a very disturbed individual who is probably a sadist and enjoys cruelty. Not surprising that the sick demented Biden would pick a dangerous human being in Chipman.
I would not vote for him to be the guy that pick up the horse shit after a parade!!!
How is it that he has no idea what an assault weapon is….he is holding one in the picture.
What about that child’s burned body pictured behind him in the ashes and his evil ass is grinning about his evil doings 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬👹👹👹
What a jerk this guy is – His work for the ATF is a disgrace to the US – He needs to be jailed – End quote
This person is a psychopathic murderer and anal wart. He should be incinerated like the children he murdered at Branch Dravidian.
In sworn Senate testimony Chipman says he was not in Waco until a month afterwards. Some enterprising journalist in D.C. aught to be able to dig up records to either show he was elsewhere or that he perjured himself and the “smoldering remains” is possibly him. As much as I despise Chipman, the left ear, nose, and cleft in chin don’t match up well in these photos.
“F” Chapman, if confirmed just keep your head down, by qiet and wait him out. He will be removed in 2024!
When democRats use made up terms like “assault weapon”, which has no actual definition. They feel emboldened to trample the Rights of Citizens.
An “assault weapon” is any article used in an assault on a person or object. This would include knifes, bats, bottles, sticks, jars, soda or beer bottles and cans, tree limbs, chain saws, rakes and shovels, spoons forks, chairs(both folding, metal ,plastic, etc.) cars, trucks, motorcycles , pens and pencils(I was poked in the leg by a classmate in the 2nd grade)and the list is as you see is endless, Anything can be and has been used as a weapon. The term “Assault Weapon” is term made-up by the MEDIA and anti-gun groups to scare the public/politicians into demonizing a certain object, In this case it is a particular type or style of a firearm!
If he is confirmed it will be just another nail pounded into the coffin of the”2nd A.” He is so bias towards disarming the American public it sometimes makes me want to cry. But I have such a strong faith in God and he knows what is right! Let us all pray and see if these things can be fixed. That is all for now, Dave from Fl.
