Biden withdraws ATF nominee

Sounds like they couldn't get enough democrats behind him either

WASHINGTON, Sept 9 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden on Thursday withdrew his nomination of gun control advocate David Chipman to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives - a federal agency pivotal in his goal of lowering U.S. firearms violence - blaming Republican opposition.

Chipman, who previously worked for the ATF for nearly 25 years, had drawn strong Republican opposition in the Senate, undermining his chances of winning confirmation in a chamber only narrowly controlled by Biden's fellow Democrats. Republicans generally oppose gun control.

Senator Angus King of Maine, an independent who usually votes with the Democrats but was a holdout on Chipman, also was a key factor in the decision to withdraw the nomination, according to two sources, speaking on condition of anonymity.

It wasn't the Rino Republicans that stopped such a terrible nominee it was the American people fighting for our God given rights and against a unconstitutional organization.

Just my 2 cents(or more). This would not have happened if good people in the country didn't put a lot of support to 2 organizations that I know of. GOA/Gun Owners of America & FPC/Firearms Policy Coalition. I know I dropped a couple of C-notes. The cost of a few boxes of ammo. We all need to support the Pro-2nd organizations of your choice. NOW !!! Besides the NRA.

glad chipman is out, but these treasonous bastards will not give up

Agree with @HooDooMan, gun owners financially supported this defeat. I hope we all contributed, I know I've given more $$ this year than ever before. We are in the fight of our lives. NEVER GIVE UP---NEVER GIVE IN

I'm with you. I've given more money (by far) than at any other time. These devils will never stop. They need to disarm us so they can do the other things to us that they are aching to do while establishing complete control.....over my dead body surrounded by brass and empty mags.
