David Chapman was a ATF agent ….
His pick to lead that agency has been withdrawn because Chapman told Congress he wanted to be tough on gun control….
The White House withdrew the nomination of David Chipman to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, President Joe Biden announced in a statement Thursday.
Biden put the blame on Republicans for the inability to get Chipman confirmed, even though there have been concerns among moderate Democrats and independent Maine Sen. Angus King — as well as GOP senators — over Chipman’s past record on gun control.
“He would have been an exemplary Director of the ATF and would have redoubled its efforts to crack down on illegal firearms traffickers and help keep our communities safe from gun violence,” Biden said of Chipman.
“Unfortunately, Republicans in Congress have made clear that they intend to use gun crime as a political talking point instead of taking serious steps to address it. That’s why they’ve moved in lockstep to block David Chipman’s confirmation, and it’s why they side with gun manufacturers over the overwhelming majority of the American people in opposing commonsense measures like universal background checks.”
Chipman said it was an honor to be considered….

It’s beyond funny that this site has not a mention of Bidens mandate imposition of yesterday.
The thousands who come here for their daily news must wallow in abysmal ignorance as the leading story of the day takes a back seat to stories such as this and of course our daily diet of Afghanistan.
Sorry James but you and Lindsay Graham are probably not going to be able to reignite that misbegotten waste of billions of dollars for absolutely nothing.
