Republicans tear into Biden's ATF pick for bungling definition of assault rifles, dodging questions about Hunter Biden 'lying' on his background check and comparing gun owners to Tiger King, in car-crash Senate appearance​

• Joe Biden's pick to head the ATF David Chipman was confronted by Republican senators during his confirmation hearing Wednesday
• They excoriated the nominee on his definition of assault weapons, refusing to commit to investigate Hunter Biden and comparing gun owners to Tiger King
• Chipman deflected before saying an assault weapon is: 'any semi-automatic rifle capable of accepting a detachable magazine above the caliber of .22'
• This would 'include a .223, which is, you know, largely the AR-15 round'
• Senator Lee brought up Chipman's April 2020 comments mocking first-time gun owners in the midst of the panic at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic
• Said at the time: 'They might think that they're die-hard, ready to go, but unfortunately they're more like Tiger King... putting their family in danger'

During a heated confirmation hearing on Wednesday, Republican senators tore into President Joe Biden's pick to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives after he butchered the definition of an assault rifle.

David Chipman refused to say during the Judiciary Committee hearing if he would investigate Hunter Biden for violating federal law by lying on a gun background check and was forced to apologize for mocking gun owners in a 2020 interview.

'Day to day, ATF plays a significant role in the legal trade of firearms in this country,' Ranking Member Chuck Grassley said as he tore into Chipman, a senior policy adviser at the Giffords gun control advocacy group.

He was very clear about using the term "semi-automatic". He made sure he got that part right so he could open the doors to the AR15.

That one sentence should get the attention of every gun owner in America.

I bet the Republicans still give him a pass and he is confirmed.

He’s got a crazy Gary Bussey look going for him.

Not to worry, I'm sure all the new AR15 owning BLM, Liberals, Democrat and Antifa members will write their congress members in opposition to this.

Their rights will be grandfathered to them as a form of reparations.

He basically defined any gun with a mag as an assault weapon.

awww, come now. He defined any semiauto rifle larger than 22 rimfire with a detachable magazine as an assault weapon. So only half* the firearms sold in America today...

*I don't know if this is hyperbole, nor do I have the energy to search for estimated volume numbers to confirm

 

[42!]

He basically defined any gun with a mag as an assault weapon.

Well he did emphasize RIFLE, so an SBR or AR pistol will be OK

 

[safetyfirst2125]

This guy advocates banning anything with a magazine over .22 caliber and mandatory registration with criminal charges and mandatory jail time for anyone failing to register.

Next will be mandatory “buy back” programs for all US rifle owners. Violators will be criminally charged and jailed.

We are accelerating towards tyranny.

yeah. The repubs seem to grandstand, talk a good game, give us a few good sound bites, then crumble in disarray. Hat tip to democrap unity

So he hates poor black people and wants to make even everything currently owned fall under the NFA so they can't afford to defend themselves. BLM!

I was thinking of writing my 2 senators Warren and Markey to ask them to vote against this a**hole but that would just be pissing into the wind.

Yeah, the same applies to the two Communist Lock Step Whores from New Hampshire as well.
