In October 2018, Chipman argued in favor of subjecting all AR-15s and potentially all semi-automatic rifles to regulation under the National Firearms Act. As&nbsp;a former agent of the ATF, Chipman knows all too well that such action would effectively ban the most popular rifle in America as well as most other items regulated under the National Firearms Act. &nbsp;\u2026 As recently as 2019, Chipman was trying to mislead the public on the basic facts of firearm ownership. \u2026 When participating ion an online \u2018ask me anything\u2019 forum discussion, Chipman published historical falsehoods to empower his advocacy for gun control. \u2026 If confirmed, David Chipman would use every tool at his disposal to attack American gun owners and we respectfully ask you to oppose any and all action that would advance his confirmation in the Senate.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"8.5238095238095\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">President Biden\u2019s ATF nominee has a long history of anti <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/2A?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#2A<\/a> activism.<\/p>\n<p>I joined <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepJimBanks?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RepJimBanks<\/a> in a letter urging the Senate to oppose David Chipman&#8217;s nomination. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WwjfUdbKIW\">pic.twitter.com\/WwjfUdbKIW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep.
