Biden ATF Nominee David Chipman Confirms His Support for AR-15 Ban

The media and government propagandists (same thing) would play up and demonize any rebel excesses or errors in judgment in order to keep the troops loyal and quash rebellion. Psyops will play a big part.

Also, the Obama/Biden DoD's indoctrination of troops currently underway, along with culling its ranks of everybody who isn't woke plays a role in that.

I have a close friend in 5th Group retiring this year because of the wokeness. Our conversations on this very matter bring me hope. God knows what things will be like after a few more years of this nonsense.

It makes me very nervous that a lot of people on our side are "leaving the battlefield" and giving the left all institutions of power.

Chipman failed to disclose his 2012 appearance on CGTN, an arm of China's propaganda machine that was required to register as a foreign agent in 2019

CNN noted that Chipman spoke in an “event on gun control” at a law firm in November 2019. Chipman’s talk was titled “Can the Right to Bear Arms Coexist with Gun Control?”

During the talk, Chipman admitted he did not see things as most law enforcement departments and agencies do, describing such agencies and departments as “a very conservative bunch, primarily of white men.”

Chipman said, “If you are authentic in this space you are likely to disappoint a lot of people,” Chipman said. He added, “I think that we have to understand that law enforcement, generally, is a very conservative bunch, primarily of white men. So, the politics of this issue, as it is, sort of permeate it. I don’t believe my views are typical.”

CNN pointed out that Chipman failed to disclose the 2019 gun control talk to the Senate, which he was supposed to do in conjunction with his nomination to head the ATF.

The White House is planning to withdraw David Chipman’s nomination to run the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives this week amid bipartisan pushback over his gun control advocacy, according to two people with knowledge of the decision.
President Biden nominated Chipman, who worked at ATF for more than two decades before joining the gun control group led by former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), in April as part of a larger effort to curb gun violence.
The White House declined to comment. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak freely about the nominee.

Wow - the dude (Horiuchi) even has an app to find him! https://thepresscheck.net/where-in-the-world-is-lon-horiuchi/

Looks like both Chipman and Horiuchi were both at Ruby Ridge and Waco - the coincidence it a bit too much to dismiss and leads me to wonder if the two of them are cut from the same anti-cloth.
