Chipman is no friend to gun owners. (Photo: C-SPAN)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Joe Biden announced this week his intention to nominate David Chipman to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While not unexpected, the nomination has sparked outrage in the pro-gun community. Chipman has a history of making anti-gun statements, and his current employment at the gun-control group, Giffords, indicates he will be anything but an unbiased servant of the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJoe Biden just nominated a man now working for the Giffords gun control lobbying group to head the agency responsible for gun law enforcement,\u201d said Second Amendment Foundation founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. \u201cThat\u2019s not just a bad signal to gun owners. The president has essentially raised the black flag, and we see nothing positive for American gun owners or the firearms industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chipman served 25 years as a special agent for the ATF, where he worked as a member of ATF\u2019s version of SWAT and as the Special Agent in Charge of ATF\u2019s Firearms Programs. He most recently began working for Giffords as a senior policy advisor<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chipman\u2019s Twitter account is now private, but he proudly lists \u201cGun Violence Prevention Advocate\u201d in his bio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In April of last year, Chipman mocked new gun owners and compared them to the \u201cTiger King\u201d in an interview with Cheddar<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey might think that they\u2019re die-hard, ready to go, but unfortunately they\u2019re more like Tiger King and they\u2019re putting themselves and their family in danger,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Biden just said "AFT" instead of ATF twice.

What a total disaster this is. pic.twitter.com\/gWc7CSv7nz<\/a><\/p>— Caleb Hull (@CalebJHull) April 8, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote> \n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHide it behind the cans of tuna and beef jerky that you\u2019ve stored in the cabinet,\u201d Chipman advised new gun owners. \u201cI\u2019m much more concerned about these guns being stored safely in homes now and not unintendedly putting families at risk or the gun buyer themselves at risk.”\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a 2019 hearing<\/a> before the House Judiciary Committee, Chipman discussed a balance between “the rights of individuals and the rights of all Americans, and a human right not to get shot.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Our nation’s current gun violence crisis has made two things very clear: one, it is far too easy for violent people to get their hands on violent weapons,” he said. “Two, the American people overwhelmingly want Congress to act now to make their communities safer.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is virtually no limit to the possible size of an [AR-15] magazine,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is simply unacceptable that military-style and high-power weapons are so readily available to citizens today and contribute to the loss of lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In answer to a question from Rep. Zoe Lofgren, Chipman later said that AR- and AK-pistols \u201cweren\u2019t used in war\u201d but were \u201cdeveloped to kill people here domestically.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know any common gun owners who look to that as a great self-defense weapon, but they fire rounds that leave devastating wounds, and we saw that in Dayton,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked later about law-abiding gun owners responding to mass murder events, Chipman dismissed that idea as \u201ca big myth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was trained to be that person, and I think that\u2019s a big myth. I think the first thing I learned when I was trained with secret service is you don\u2019t have enough time to pull your gun. You need to get in the way of the bullet and get shot,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chipman will need 51 votes in the Senate to secure his nomination. If no Democrats defect, he can get that many votes with Vice President Kamala Harris breaking the tie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
