Biden ATF nominee supports ban on AR-15
Fox News
President Biden’s nominee to head the the Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) bureau, David Chipman, said during Wednesday that he is in favor of a ban on AR-15 rifles.
"The AR-15 is a gun I was issued on the ATF’s SWAT team, and it’s a particularly lethal weapon. Regulating it as other particularly lethal weapons, I have advocated for. As ATF director, if I’m confirmed, I would simply enforce the laws on the books, and right now there is no such ban on those guns." Chipman was an ATF special agent for 25 years and currently serves as senior policy adviser to gun violence prevention group Giffords.More Related News
