Biden’s ATF nominee David Chipman just said he was in favor of banning the most widely used rifle in America.

Chipman is only laying the foundation for President Biden & VP Harris’ radical left agenda of stripping Americans of their 2nd Amendment rights.pic.twitter.com/DdJYrVLBCI

Well, there it is… again.

Anyone who says this is an enemy of the United States constitution and unfit to hold any position in government. https://t.co/hTxBT6yUNE

Here is the clip of Chipman wanting to ban the AR-15. This will be a violation of #2A. https://t.co/IGI4UeI3OZ

The Biden administration (and their nominees) are all vying for this year’s “gun and ammo salesman of the year” award.

Biden nominated an ATF director who wants to ban the most popular rifle in the country, but what’s important is that he doesn’t tweet mean things. 🥴 https://t.co/pDqnrFLaJW
