Wyoming Republican Senator John Barrasso tweeted out today, “Glad the Biden admin finally realized David Chipman is the WRONG person to lead the ATF. Chipman is an anti-gun extremist who would have been the most radically anti-gun director in ATF history. @POTUS needs to nominate someone who has the respect for the #SecondAmendment.”

The Washington Story said Chipman joined a gun control group led by former Democrat Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords after working for the AFT for two decades.
