Joe Biden’s pick to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is a gun control activist who has pushed conspiracy theories about the Waco Siege.
During a Senate hearing this week, he admitted that he wants to ban certain weapons.
This man has no business heading the ATF.
Townhall reports:
ATF Nominee Offers ‘Insanely Broad’ Definition of ‘Assault Weapon,’ Which He Wants Banned
Under questioning from Texas Senator Ted Cruz Wednesday during his confirmation in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, President Joe Biden’s nominee to head the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms openly stated he believes the AR-15, the most popular rifle in the United States, should be banned.
Further, he said he believes AR-15s that have already been purchased lawfully by millions of Americans should be registered and those who refuse to do so should face criminal charges.

Chipman also gave a bizarre answer when asked to define what an assault weapon is.

Here’s more:
"Is a law-abiding gun owner a threat to public safety in your view?"
Just listen David Chipman's answer… 😡

The Senate should NOT confirm this man to the ATF.
