    Browsing the Dallas Pravda on the shitter, saw this alleged letter to the editor:

    Chipman needs their votes
    As a proud gun owner, military veteran and Second Amendment advocate, I support David Chipman’s nomination as next director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

    Chipman, also a gun owner, is a retired, 25-year ATF special agent and explosives expert who led investigations into the 1993 World Trade Center and 1995 Oklahoma City bombings, as well as the investigation of racially-motivated arson attacks against Alabama churches that successfully led to prosecution. He is a gun safety expert who also has served as a consultant to the Giffords’ Gun Owners for Gun Safety group since his ATF retirement. Senate approval of his nomination would give the bureau its first director in six years, thus filling a leadership void that has long-weakened the ATF’s law enforcement capability.

    Most important, unlike Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz, Chipman does not take orders from the National Rifle Association. Instead, he vigorously supports common sense gun laws that will reduce gun violence — including background checks for all gun sales.

    If you, too, would like to see our elected leaders reverse the course of rising gun violence in our state and nation, ask them now to take this first small step to protect us and our Second Amendment rights by voting for Chipman’s appointment.

    What I remember the most is when Senator Cruz asked him his definition of a assault rifle and his response was, "what ever congress tells him it is".

    While a shîtty response, it is a legally correct statement. Until Congress writes a law to address it, an assualt weapons is legally an imagination.

    He could have responded “Assualt rifles do not exist in the current law.”, and have had said the same thing. As a presidential nominee talking to a friendly Congress, the statement was specifically crafted as a media soundbite speaking to the D base.

    Just another fudd that can’t separate actually handling your firearms safely and thinking owning a certain gun is a safety concern.

    People like this are hilarious. Site big gun control groups then say if you wanna protect our second amendment nominate this dill hole.

    I bet him and his Karen wife are on an hoa board.
