Dear Patriot,
You and I have an opportunity right in front
of us to stop the confirmation of anti-gun zealot David Chipman
as head of the ATF.
President Biden clearly overstepped with the
nomination of Chipman, who is by far the most anti-gun activist
to even be considered for this role. But with just 51 votes
needed to confirm, this is a battle that Campaign for Liberty
will need to be well-equipped to win.
We need to flip just one Democrat to vote
against the nomination to end this debacle and set back Joe
Biden's anti-gun agenda.
My staff and I have identified 8 targets in
the Senate who need to hear very loudly that David Chipman should
not be anywhere near a decision-making role when it comes to the
Second Amendment and your right to defend your family and your
home.
There are rumblings that this confirmation is
anything but a done deal based on Chipman's past.
Chipman's words and actions for decades shows
he's out of step with our Republic, and putting him at the helm
of the ATF would be disastrous.
I fear it would be history repeating itself
with another Waco or Ruby Ridge type of tragedy under Chipman's
authority.
Even worse, in 2019, Chipman said he believes
in "pre-crime" measures to stop people who may one day commit a
crime, which turns our entire justice system on its head:
"While at ATF, I conducted studies involving
people who failed background checks to determine how many later
committed crimes with a gun, many did, this is a perfect
opportunity to arrest people before committing crimes, rather
than responding after the fact" -David Chipman
It appears that Chipman has been preparing to
jail innocent Americans who are trying to purchase a firearm for
a very long time, dating back to his previous stint at the ATF.
We must act quickly as the Chipman
confirmation is likely to be voted on before the end of this
month, which means pressuring our eight targets in the Senate
starts immediately.
This is critical - can you rush a donation of
$25, $50, $100, or more to stop anti-gun zealot David Chipman
from being seated in the highest position at the ATF?
And if you haven't already, please sign the
petition to your U.S. Senators demanding they vote against his
confirmation.
Patriot, President Biden is too afraid to
deliver the message that his administration wants to turn
law-abiding gun owners into potential felons.
He'll be thrilled to hand that job over to
the gun grabbing David Chipman who cannot wait to come after the
AR-15.
When Chipman worked for a Michael
Bloomberg-funded gun control group, he said the AR-15, the most
popular rifle in America, should be treated like a "machine gun"
and banned completely.
When asked by Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) about
Senator Dianne Feinstein's (D-CA) bill to ban more than 2,000
different types of firearms, Chipman said it didn't go far enough
because it didn't target law-abiding gun owners who have
previously purchased those weapons.
Not only is David Chipman in favor of
arresting people for pre-crime, but he also wants to
retroactively go after gun owners who have weapons he doesn't
like!
Chipman isn't trying to hide the fact he
wants innocent and law-abiding Americans to give up their right
to protect their families and their property, and put their names
into another government database, while the criminals surely
won't comply with any of it.
Could Biden have made a more disturbing pick
for the person to head up the ATF?
Time is short - you and I have a chance to
stop the confirmation of David Chipman, but I need you to step up
and fund our program with a donation of $25, $50, $100, or more
at once!
Then if you haven't already signed the
petition to your U.S. Senators, please do so now!
Chipman's nomination has always signaled a
level of desperation by President Biden to cater to the
far-left's rabid attacks on the Second Amendment.
That agenda, thus far in 2021, has been
failing in Congress.
Biden's radical gun control bills have been
stalling at various stages of the process, but he thinks Chipman
heading the ATF is an end-around on Congress.
Is there any doubt, based on Chipman's own
statements, that he would use the ATF to target specific guns for
confiscation based on some kind of perceived "emergency?"
If his current statements about gun bans and
pre-crime and his vitriol aimed at law-abiding gun owners isn't
enough, a look at Chipman's history with the ATF is even worse!
While he was an agent for the ATF, Chipman
was stationed in Waco, TX and participated in the aftermath of
the assault on the Branch Davidian compound. After a 51-day
standoff with the members of the compound in February of 1993,
the compound was raided by a combination of federal agents from
the FBI, ATF, and local law enforcement.
The Branch Davidians were suspected of
possessing "illegal weapons."
Chipman later claimed that the Branch
Davidians had shot down helicopters with those weapons, a claim
which was completely refuted by a U.S. House of Representatives'
report.
The end result after the standoff,
teargassing, and gun fights instigated by the ATF was 4 dead
federal agents and 78 members of the Branch Davidians, including
25 children who were killed in the fires that engulfed the
compound.
After leaving the ATF, Chipman has gone on to
positions with vicious gun-grabbing activist groups, showing his
true colors.
He worked as a lobbyist for Michael
Bloomberg's Everytown for Gun Safety and later as senior policy
advisor at Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
In a truly outrageous conflict of interest,
current U.S. Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ), whose wife is former U.S.
Congresswoman Gabby Giffords of the Giffords Law Center, still
employs Chipman!
Time is running out to stop this
confirmation, so I'm urging you to take action immediately.
Your donation of $25, $50, $100, or more
today will go directly to funding our program which will pressure
eight Senators to vote against Chipman and stop this
confirmation!
If Chipman is defeated, it will be another
major setback to the gun grabbers and a big signal that even when
being hit from all angles with attacks on the Second Amendment,
you and I will not give an inch.
I know I can count on you to join me in this
fight.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
Chairman
P.S. Staying true to their mantra of "never
let a good crisis go to waste," the Big Government elites are
showing themselves to be determined to run roughshod over the
Second Amendment while they enact their socialist agenda. Please
consider a generous donation today.
