Big win for 2A!<\/p>\n
The Washington Post reports that Biden’s nominee to head the ATF David Chipman<\/a> is being withdrawn.<\/p>\n The official White House presser<\/a> tries to blame Republicans<\/a>:<\/p>\n “… 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\u2019s why they\u2019ve moved in lockstep to block David Chipman\u2019s confirmation …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Ok, but did Chuck Schumer<\/a> try to salvage the nomination like The Hill suggested<\/a> back in June?<\/p>\n “… The tied committee vote Thursday means Chipman’s nomination will still be put to a full vote on the Senate floor, but Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) will have to navigate some procedural hurdles …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Did Chuck do any of this?\u00a0 No.<\/p>\n Chipman worked for the gun control group Giffords<\/a>. The antis put everything they had behind him, knowing he’d be their shill, and they lost big-time. I suspect this humiliation will also doom any new gun control at the federal level for the rest of Biden’s term in office.<\/p>\n
