President Joe Biden on Wednesday announced he was tapping gun control activist David Chipman to serve Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). Even though Chipman’s past has been called into question, particularly over his role in the Waco, Texas, massacre and his calls to disarm law-abiding Americans, things are getting even thornier.
A look into the United States’ Senate Lobbying Disclosure registration shows Chipman served as a lobbyist for Giffords, former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords’ gun control group. As recently as a last June, Chipman was lobbying on behalf of anti-Second Amendment legislation.
According to the lobbying disclosure forms, Chipman was paid several hundreds of thousands of dollars per year between 2017 and 2020 to lobby for stricter gun control laws.
