Friend --
The Biden administration has
nominated former ATF agent and rabid anti-gun activist, David Chipman, to be Director of the ATF.
Chipman's contempt for gun owners was on full
display during his Senate
hearing on May 26. Yet, the Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to
vote in favor of his nomination on party lines this Thursday,
June 17 at 9am! This means you need to put pressure on
your Senators TODAY!
It is noted by The Hill, that in order to defeat Chipman on the Senate floor, all Republicans must vote against him and one Senate Democrat must defect to vote NO. This is where your effort and pressure come in. Chipman, by the way, is the same anti-gun federal agent that, according to The Federalist, may have lost his own service weapon.
Chipman was an ATF agent for 25 years from 1988 to 2012, including serving as a case agent in the infamous Waco siege. After leaving the ATF, Chipman immediately began his anti-gun activism for Bloomberg-founded Mayors Against Illegal Guns where he advocated for “assault weapon” bans, magazine capacity restrictions, and upholding the NFA. Since 2016 Chipman has been been a Senior Policy Advisor for Giffords anti-gun campaign.
In 2019 he told a U.S. House
committee that
“Simply reinstating the
90s-era ban on assault weapons is not enough...Instead, we should
regulate a broader class of firearms, including assault weapons
manufactured before the law's enactment...while banning the future
manufacture and sale of these firearms." He also recently stated that he supports a
wholesale ban of the AR-15, and by implication, similar magazine-fed
semi-autos.
New
York Times is reporting that the White House believes they have
just enough votes to put this anti-gun activist in charge of one of
the nation's largest law enforcement agencies. If you have
already contacted your Senators to oppose Chipman, FPC wants to thank
you for your action and encourages you to share our take action link
with your pro-gun family and
friends!
Remember, the "gun lobby" is
YOU. Let them hear us loud and clear! You can always learn

connect with local activists.
