Dear Patriot,

Buried in the headlines last week was a victory for the Second Amendment, Campaign for Liberty, and YOU.

The nomination of anti-gun zealot David Chipman to head the ATF is officially dead.

Chipman’s nomination was withdrawn last week, and he went out with a whimper.

According to Fox News:

The White House is withdrawing the nomination of David Chipman to run the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF), Fox News has confirmed.

Chipman, who had a history of caustic comments about gun owners and worked for gun control groups for years after his career as an ATF agent, was staunchly opposed by Republicans. But he struggled to gain the support of several Democrats, who never explicitly opposed Chipman's nomination but also never publicly supported him either.

Chipman was also a main character at the Waco debacle in 1993.

While the left’s failure to move this nomination didn’t make big headlines, this is a big win, and your months of dedication to this cause had a big hand in sending Chipman packing.

We at Campaign for Liberty thank you!

That’s the great news.

The not-so-great news is Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL) is undoubtedly looking forward to who will be the next nominee for this post at an agency that should not even exist!

Durbin has called on the president to send another nominee “as soon as possible.”

The ATF has a long history of being hostile to the Second Amendment, and no matter who is nominated next by President Biden, you can bet their goal will be to target law-abiding gun owners for more weapons bans and harassment.

For those reasons, you and I must remain vigilant and watch very closely for the next anti-gun nominee to be thrown at us.

Not only that but you can bet the gun grabbers Congress are chomping at the bit to force gun control measures into law when you least expect it.

When that happens, I have every reason to believe that you and I will be able to shut them down once again.

Within just hours of the nomination of Chipman back in April of this year, you sprang into action, signed petitions, and started calling your senators to demand they oppose him.

And it worked!

We could not have won this battle without your generosity, so I hope you can dig deep and contribute so we’ll be prepared for all future threats.

Although it’s hard to imagine a WORSE nominee than Chipman, there is no shortage of gun grabbers in the ranks of the political class, and President Biden is sure to find another to nominate.

We at Campaign for Liberty will certainly be on the lookout.

Do not forget that the Biden Agenda included some of the worst and most restrictive gun registration and confiscation bills that we’ve ever seen.

A few of them passed Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) House and are still waiting for votes in the Senate but have stalled . . . at least for now!

The stalling of those Second Amendment shredding bills like H.R. 127, H.R. 8, and H.R. 1446 has frustrated the gun grabber lobby in Washington, and they were poised to ram through the Chipman nomination so he could carry out what’s in those bills through the executive branch.

Now that they failed to get their anti-gun zealot Chipman in, look out for even more propaganda and reckless action to come after our right to self-protection.

Even the Center for Disease Control, when not busy spreading COVID disinformation and dictating new “laws” such as their rent moratorium, recently said that guns are going to be a priority for them.

You and I have certainly won every round, but that just means the opposition will hit back harder next time.

With all the fights for medical freedom taking up our time and energy, it’s easy to forget what Congress has attempted to pass to take away firearms.

Patriot, multiple anti-gun threats are still on the table -- don’t be surprised to see them rolled out once again.

There’s no doubt in my mind the anti-gunners will exploit any tragedy to further their political goals.

For now, you and I can celebrate that David Chipman’s nomination was denied, and it was completely due to the work and action of activists such as yourself.

Victories in Washington do not come easy, which makes this even more encouraging.

But it’s certainly not time to rest on our laurels.



I cannot stress enough that 2021 is a very dangerous time for liberty. You and I must remain vigilant.

For Liberty,

John McCardell
Executive Director

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.
