ATF Director Says Assault Weapons Ban Now On His "Wish List"

Looks like Biden's ATF director has drastically changed his views from his Senate confirmation hearing.
During a recent interview with Caroline Light, the Director of Undergraduate studies in Women, Gender and Sexuality at Harvard University, ATF Director Steve Dettelbach was asked about his gun control "Wish list."
This is a drastic change from Dettelbach's nomination hearing, where he promised to be a fair regulator and only use the tools that Congress gave him.
These words earned him his nominations from holdouts like Senator Angus King of Maine and West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin.
Senator King was credited with torpedoing the previous ATF director nominee, David Chipman.
Chipman, a former ATF agent and veteran of the gun-control lobby, was withdrawn after his views on firearms confirmed that he would be antagonistic towards the firearms industry as a regulator.
Dettelbach was seen as a law enforcement candidate, with a background as a United States Attorney who promised to "never let politics in any way influence my action as ATF director."
It is clear that Director Dettelbach has become a gun-control advocate in the vein of David Chipman. In fact, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation,
no ATF director has ever advocated for an assault weapon ban until now.
This is unsurprising, as the Biden administration recently announced an office of gun violence prevention -- its sole purpose being to cozy up the gun control lobby with a direct link to ATF. Look no further than the Office of Gun Violence Prevention's Deputy Director, Rob Wilcox.
