It seems that the nation’s firearms regulator — better known as the ATF — hasn’t been forthcoming with FOIA requests into the work record of a former employee named David Chipman. You know Chipman as the ex-agent and current paid hack for the gun control industry. After leaving the ATF, he went to work for Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown civilian disarmament operation before jumping over to Giffords where he’s still on the payroll.
Chipman’s record of producing prodigious amounts of anti-gun agitprop was so impressive that it caught the eye of whoever is running things in the White House these days. That resulted in someone else feeding Chipman’s name into a Teleprompter so President BidenHarris would announce his nomination to run the agency that formerly employed him (and where his wife is currently employed).
Which brings us to a complaint that’s been filed by something called the American Accountability Foundation, an org that does “non-partisan conservative research and fact-checking so Americans can hold their elected leaders accountable.”
They want a look at David Chipman’s personnel file from his time as an ATF government employee. Toward that end, they filed the appropriate FOIA request with the ATF…to which the agency has failed to respond. As a result, the AAF filed a lawsuit today seeking information into allegations of “professionally impermissible statements” by Chipman.
As stated in the lawsuit . . .
In an answer to a question from Senator Ted Cruz, David H. Chipman admitted that at least two Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaints had been filed against him while he was previously employed at ATF.
David H. Chipman also admitted to Senator Ted Cruz that his personnel file was still under the control of the federal government.
The AAF goes on to say that they believe there were actually more than two EEOC complaints filed.
As Rob Romano, the community communications director for the Firearms Policy Coalition reports, the AAF has reason to believe that at least one of those complaints is because Chipman allegedly made disparaging statements regarding minorities’ intellectual abilities.
Uh oh. If we’ve been following the current zeitgeist correctly, expressing the opinion that minorities can’t succeed without cheating is…how do you put it…a cancellable offense. If true, that would preclude a nominee from running a federal agency with over 5,000 employees, many of whom are, well, minorities.
Is there anything behind the AAF’s allegations? We don’t know. As Brett Kavanaugh can tell you, anyone can make virtually any wild allegation against someone in an attempt to derail their nomination. Politics is a dirty business and there are plenty of people who are all too willing to get down in the muck.
But if these allegations are false, wouldn’t Chipman and the ATF want to refute them? Couln’t they easily do so? These aren’t claims about what might have happened at a high school party 40+ years ago, these are allegations about workplace behavior that is supposedly documented in Chipman’s file. There’s either a record of this incident or there isn’t.
Last week, the Senate Judiciary Committee postponed a vote on moving the Chipman nomination to the full Senate for a vote…something that should have been a slam-dunk. They’re currently scheduled to hold that vote on Thursday. Does the delay have anything to do with what’s in his personnel record? Inquiring minds want to know.
Shouldn’t Senators have that information — whatever may be there — when it comes time to vote on his nomination? What are the chances that the AAF will get access to Chipman’s records before the Senate votes?
![By Larry Keane President Joe Biden traveled to New York City for a media event to try and show America he’s doing something about rampant crime. Instead, he blamed the Second Amendment and lawful gun owners, said nothing about holding criminals to account and repeated the same tired lies about the firearm industry he keeps at the ready – lies “fact-checked” as being false each time he’s previously recited them. It makes no difference to the president. He’s not even trying anymore. To President Biden and national gun control groups the problem is always the gun and the law-abiding members of the industry. It’s never the criminal. Blaming the ‘Resistance’ President Biden was joined by U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams for a “Gun Violence Strategies Partnership” meeting to talk about how to solve the crime surge, particularly those involving firearms. Instead of real solutions, the focus devolved into blaming law-abiding gun owners and again pushing a gun control agenda. “Enough is enough,” President Biden said. “Because we know we can do things about this, but for the resistance, we’re getting from some sectors of the government and the Congress and the state legislatures, and the organizational structures out there.” That “resistance” the president spoke of is the American people. Over the past two years they’ve become fed up with police defunding policies and soft-on-crime prosecutors, like Manhattan’s Democratic District Attorney Alvin Bragg. They’ve invested in their own safety. The “resistance” is the 21 million lawful gun buyers in 2020, including more than 8.4 million first-time buyers, and the 18.5 million gun buyers in 2021, with more than 5.4 million first-timers. The ”resistance” has backstopped Congress from passing federal gun control that don’t address crime. It also stopped President Biden’s nominations of paid gun control lobbyist David Chipman to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and banking activist Saule Omarova as Comptroller of the Currency because not even all U.S. Senate Democrats could support them. They would have turned those agencies into bludgeons to hammer the firearm industry to achieve a special interest, gun control agenda. Favorite Falsehoods The president turned his aim from lawful gun owners towards the firearm industry and repeated a lie he’s rehearsed several times before. “Imagine had we had a liabil… [sic] they’re the only industry in America that is exempted from being able to be sued by the public. Only one,” the president protested. “Why the gun manufacturers?… It’s got to end. They’ve got to be held responsible for the things they do that are irresponsible.” He repeated the claim for emphasis. “And I find that outrageous.” This is flatly false. The president knows by now, or his speechwriters do and they don’t bother with the facts. CNN, Politicfact and Washington Post have all checked President Biden on his remark, including after he said it in the White House Rose Garden. CNN cleanly rebuked it. “This is false. Gun manufacturers are not entirely exempt from being sued, nor are they only industry with some liability protections.” Politifact rated it “false.” Washington Post wasn’t kinder, saying, “Biden is wrong to claim the gun industry is totally immune.” The firearm industry has liability protections under the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), bipartisan legislation enacted under former President George W. Bush. The firearm industry cannot be held liable when unaffiliated third-parties, in this case criminals, misuse a legal, lawfully sold product. It’s fundamental tort law and is similar to an individual attempting to hold Ford and Budweiser responsible for drunk driving deaths. The law was passed in direct response to lawsuits filed against the industry by control groups and municipalities like the city of New York and the state of New York. These type of lawsuit continue to be filed, now even by foreign governments represented by the same gun control group, the Brady Center. Colonial-Era Error President Biden continued to ignore facts on the Second Amendment and its history. He even erred when speaking about the Revolution-era days and why the right to keep and bear arms was so sacrosanct. “When the amendment was passed, it didn’t say anybody could own a gun and any kind of gun and any kind of weapon,” President Biden remarked. “You couldn’t buy a cannon, and when – the – when this, uh, this amendment was passed.” It did, and does, say the right of the People “shall not be infringed.” Even The Washington Post was brutal in their assignment of “Four Pinocchio’s” to this statement. “Biden has already been fact-checked on this claim — and it’s been deemed false. We have no idea where he conjured up this notion about a ban on cannon ownership in the early days of the Republic, but he needs to stop making this claim.” In fact, the Constitution of early America – before the Bill of Rights, and Second Amendment, was even ratified – granted and encouraged “special waivers” to American merchants and sailors, “allowing private individuals to act as pirates on behalf of the United States against countries engaged in war with it.” Americans given waivers and who owned warships obviously also obtained cannons for use in battle. In fact, it is still perfectly legal to buy a cannon today. It is the presidents’ fundamental misunderstanding and blatant lying about the Second Amendment that informs his gun control agenda and misguided approach to solving the crime problem. Millions of law-abiding Americans took ownership of their Second Amendment rights to protect themselves, understanding the president won’t. Instead of mangling the meaning of the right and pushing for more gun control on law-abiding Americans, the president should keep it simple. Take on the criminals and punish them for breaking the law.](https://cdn-ilbhaoh.nitrocdn.com/bgKlmMbwrWXRONuqEtcbCEpELIavckvt/assets/images/optimized/rev-5059075/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/download-26-218x150.jpeg "Harris is a Human Disinformation Campaign When It Comes to Guns")
Biden will be forced to withdraw him.
As if. They don’t care about the unwashed masses. What bothered me most was the picture of him standing on the rubble at WACO, grinning, after he helped murder those men, women and children.
This. Making half-assed statements about the ability of minority candidates to pass standard tests is a cancellable offense but being a Federal baby killer gets a person promoted.
I was thinking about that very conundrum myself…or how many times his issued service pistol was ” replaced, original unaccounted for”…
Pretty sure that was fake news. If he was there, that wasn’t him.
His record without that, that we know, is still terrible enough without embellishment.
Biden knew who this guy was when he nominated him. Embarrassing past behaviors can’t be allowed to get in the way of a good F-U to Mr. and Ms. Law Abiding Gun Owner.
Speaking of which, does the ATF actually do anything with the A and T sides of the house?
I’m pretty sure Biden doesn’t even know what day it is unless someone tells him.
ATF is responsible for enforcing the taxes on alcohol and tobacco, part of its original mission when it was still a part of the IRS. That’s why the moonshiners called them “revenoors.” They still chase moonshiners and importers of untaxed cigarettes.
I think they drink whiskey and smoke before going on another anti gun rampage?
“Biden will be forced to withdraw him.”
*Please*.
What will happen is that pesky file will be properly ‘sterilized’ of politically-inconvenient entries…
WARNING: Manchin caved on HR 1.
I was thinking about that very conundrum myself…or how many times his issued service pistol was ” replaced, original unaccounted for”…
They should also file a FOIA with OPM where the official employment record is stored separately from the ATF internal record. Big difference because it also holds the original background and subsequent investigations.
His Senate committee markup/vote has been delayed at least twice, his nomination is in trouble, and the meat puppet controllers are likely to withdraw him rather than loose the vote in the Senate.
“Shouldn’t Senators have that information — whatever may be there — when it comes time to vote on his nomination?”
Uh, yep….You would think that a bunch of high-powered lawyers who are a key part of the legislative body of the US would demand every shred of information about a job applicant’s background before even considering him to head up an armed federal force. Especially his job-related performance in the very agency he is expected to run should be laid bare in detail. Seems to me, if there is any foot-dragging by the administration, the job candidate is not even interviewed.
It’s only a concern of the Democrats if it’s someone Trump tries to install. Otherwise, it doesn’t matter.
The golden question is; “DOES CHIPMAN HAVE A GIGLIO FILE WITH THE ATF” … ???
This is where you’ve basically been determined to have no credibility whatsoever and therefore are officially barred for life from being in any position of trust that may require you to testify in court.
If he has such a file he has no business being in govt. employment at all because you’re permanently barred from a security clearance.
The best politicians are born liars. Ask anyone.
Chipper helped murder lots of White people, so the left views that as a virtue. Chipper is grossly incompetent and inarticulate, but, hey, look at all of the roasted children of people who defied the government. Chipper is a dangerous, cancerous psychotic and unfit to lead a crew of septic tank cleaners.
Chipman reminds me of Gary Busey. Should only be allowed out in public while wearing a shock collar.
Thats a slight to Busey.
Even after a traumatic brain injury, he has more game and integrity than this POS.
True. But look at GB’s behavior before he had the motorcycle crash.
Yeah. He was a wild-ass.
A little less predictable once did the low-side/high-side thing.
But he was never even approaching baby-killer POS.
I knew a guy nicknamed Chipper, I’ve known a lot of hombres but Chipper was the worst.
Ah come on guys, you can tell Chips on the up and up, I mean look at that face, honesty just oozes from it.
If I was going to be shot and have my wife and kids burned this would be the guy I’d want doing it. And he’s theBidens choice. My President wants this guy and there’s a good reason he does.
America, land of the free.
“… honesty just oozes from it.”
Honesty couldn’t stand being with his psyche, hence the departure.
And an ATF spokesman replied:
Chipman’s a good ol’ boy. Never mean no harm…
“…expressing the opinion that minorities can’t succeed without cheating is…how do you put it…a cancellable offense.”
That is exactly what Chuck Schumer is getting on tv saying. The need to pass a new law to allow minorities the ability to vote. He is saying minorities can’t successfully vote without cheating.
In all my years of voting I have never seen a situation where minorities of any kind were not given the ability to vote.
Just like guns, anyone that wants it can have it. Upto and including illegal aliens.
I see that he’s wearing a cap that has Littoral Combat Ship on it. LCS, or as also known, Little Crappy Ships. Kinda fits him.
Chippers was a Seal,XMarine,Army,Airforce,Special Focus guy and now comming soon , the new director of the BATFE.
He deserves our reject,,,,,I mean respect.
In other words he was a chairborne ranger in the keyboard commando corps.
Ms Chipman – “Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives’ history and special events”
What is a ATG “special event”. Waco? Ruby Ridge” has been quite some time sense they thugs had a “special event”. I wonder what Ms Chipman has in the works.
I figured out why they dont want to release his files.
First. He hides his gunms behind his cookies because Zombie Attack.
Second. He thinks everything thing above .22 caliber should be banned.
Okay, I’ve been watching some zombie movies and he’s right on .22’s you can carry a lot more .22’s and if it’s a headshot , gotta be, dont matter what you shoot them with.
Storing food& water
Hiding gunms
Lots of bullets
He’s on to something but cant talk about it.
his files are hiding the Zombie Apocalypse
Can’t the Dems find anyone who doesn’t have a mile long history?
Next we’ll find Chippman has his kids on some Ukrainian gas board or something.
He’s man breasts and probably wright about joggers cheating no test.
he is a pathological liar too…he lied about the Waco government lead mass murder..but the racial complaint is all the will matter…it doesn’t even have to be true…if the so called republicans have the guts to go there..
