He is wholly unfit to run the ATF, and I’m glad to see President Biden has withdrawn his nomination.” During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing earlier this year, Senator Cotton questioned Mr. Chipman about his calls for an assault weapon ban, revealing his intention to outlaw the large majority of modern sporting rifles. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:17:01Z |
