Not that any of it matters, the Democrats in the Senate will consider it all an endorsement.

It is not looking good for us. Have to hope Manchin votes against the guy plus all the Republicans.
In essence, the man grumpy grampy Joe wants to run the ATF believes that every firearm in civilian hands is just a crime waiting to happen.

Why would that matter? I can think of at least one mass shooting done with a Ruger 10/22. There's video on Youtube (or used to be) of the guy walking around the store murdering defenseless victims, including one hiding behind a desk. He just casually goes around the desk and shoots. The problem wasn't what the murderer had in his hands because murderers don't obey gun laws anyway, the problem was what the shoppers didn't have in theirs. How different the outcome would've been if even one person had been armed and shot back.kcclark wrote:It is not looking good for us.

Apparently he was not loved by his co-workers at the ATF. Good point made was that this is a non-partisan enforcer. The one person made the comment that this is wrong to have an activist lead this agency whether they are an NRA lobbyist or a gun control lobbyist.

God,
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can
and the Wisdom to know the difference.
Carrying a gun is a right, not a crime.
Gun control is racist.

Re: NY Post article about Biden's pick for ATF director
On Thursday morning the Senate Judiciary Committee split evenly on advancing David Chipman’s nomination to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF).
Eleven Democrats voted for him with 11 Republicans opposed.
Reuters notes this puts the Chipman nomination in a tough spot, but suggests “it is not an insurmountable roadblock.”
President Joe Biden nominated Chipman, a long-time gun control advocate and affiliate of Gabby Giffords’ gun control work, to lead the ATF.
During May 26, 2021, confirmation hearings, Chipman affirmed his support for a ban on AR-15s and other firearms the Democrats label “assault weapons.”
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) asked Chipman to define “assault weapon,” but Chipman demurred, choosing instead to say, “An ‘assault weapon’ would be, in the context of the question you ask, whatever Congress defines it as.”
The Washington Post reports that a floor vote is the next stop for Chipman’s nomination, as that is the means by which Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) can “discharge the nomination from committee.”
“It’s not that we don’t have enough scoundrels to curse; it’s that we don’t have enough good men to curse them.”–G.K. Chesterton-Illustrated London News, 3-14-1908
