There's a lot going on in gun rights with lots of anti-gun bills and various court battles. Of course, we're all celebrating the decision in Miller vs Becerra (California AWB Challenge), but that doesn't mean we can rest on our laurels. Right now, there are several fires we need to extinguish and those listed below are crucial. Take action and hit the links below!
UPDATED 8/3/21 OPPOSE ATF Nominee David Chipman Former ATF Colleagues Write Letter Opposing Biden Director Nominee: ‘Wrong Man for the Job’ Seven former agents, each with 25 or more years of experience at the ATF, wrote a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee leaders on Tuesday urging them to vote against David Chipman. In a copy of the letter obtained by The Reload, the agents criticize Chipman’s turn from ATF agent to paid gun-control activist. They argued he did not have the experience or temperament to lead the agency and his appointment would degrade ATF’s ability to do its job. “David’s strong personal beliefs on firearms issues will create serious and long-lasting problems for the Bureau and the effective execution of its law enforcement mission,” the agents said in the letter. “We relied on effective partnerships with industry, stakeholders, and other law enforcement agencies to execute our missions. Unfortunately, if David were confirmed, ATF partners would see someone who is coming to the agency with his top priority being to implement a divisive gun control agenda.” View Quote Full Story here: https://thereload.com/former-atf-colleagues-write-letter-opposing-biden-director-nominee-wrong-person-for-that-job/ UPDATED 7/15/21 OPPOSE ATF Nominee David Chipman 2 AGs (from AZ and WV) add their voices to why this man can not be voted in. As state attorneys general, we defend the legal principles enshrined in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. We take the field to stand up for freedom of speech, freedom of worship, and the freedom to keep and bear arms. This doesn’t mean attacking everyone we disagree with — diverse viewpoints and debate are part of what makes this country great. It does mean holding everyone accountable to the law. View Quote Chipman has demonstrated that he is not an unbiased actor and there are concerns that he would use the ATF, and its vast resources, to target law-abiding gun owners instead of pursuing outlaws and criminal organizations that pose legitimate threats to public safety. Chipman has spent the past decade calling for radical gun control as an outspoken senior policy adviser and activist for various gun control groups. Recently, Chipman worked for an organization that defended Washington, D.C.’s complete ban on the possession of handguns, including in the home for self-defense. View Quote Full story here: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/op-eds/reject-david-chipmans-nomination-to-lead-atf Via FPC The Biden Administration has nominated former ATF agent and Giffords anti-gun activist, David Chipman, to be Director of the ATF. Chipman was an ATF agent for 25 years from 1988 to 2012, including serving as a case agent in the aftermath of the Waco siege. After leaving the ATF, Chipman immediately began his anti-gun activism for Bloomberg-founded Mayors Against Illegal Guns where he advocated for "assault weapon" bans, magazine capacity restrictions, and upholding the NFA. Since 2016 Chipman has been been a Senior Policy Advisor for Giffords anti-gun campaign. In 2019 he told a U.S. House committee that "Simply reinstating the 90s-era ban on assault weapons is not enough...Instead, we should regulate a broader class of firearms, including assault weapons manufactured before the law's enactment...while banning the future manufacture and sale of these firearms." Chipman has also strongly argued for bans or restrictions on so-called "ghost guns" targeting an American tradition of home gunsmithing. Meanwhile, he has the audacity to call himself a "proud and responsible gun owner." View Quote Senators Manchin, Toomey, Collins, Sinema, Tester, and Murkowski are potential swings.So call early and call often. Let's steer these politicritters in the right direction! If anyone knows where Manchin will be in WV, share the location and hopefully we can have a few folks POLITELY ask him to vote no and fight his appointment.

The builder would also have to get the frame serialized once it reaches near completion. The ATF now has wide latitude to decide what is and isn't a frame or receiver. The proposed new rule reads: "More than one externally visible part may house or hold a fire control component on a particular firearm, such as with a split or modular frame or receiver. Under these circumstances, ATF may determine whether a specific part or parts of the weapon is the frame or receiver, which may include an internal frame or chassis at least partially exposed to the exterior to allow identification." The new rules also go after "buy build shoot" kits. The ATF will consider these kits to be firearms...

The appointment of Chipman puts all our firearm rights at risk.
Anything you can do to help these efforts would be appreciated! |

All Texans should be adding a little special comment for John Cornyn in those pre-addressed replies. Just a simple "we are watching you John" will do. He has been working with the democrats on some back door Red Flag stuff. He is not to be trusted.

After today's proposed action on pistol braces, NO CHIPMAN FOR US!

Chipman is the most pressing. Comment for the regulatory action for frames or receivers next and then the arm brace comments once published in the federal register (hasn't happened yet).

Call back and talk with as many of them as you have the stomach for. Tell them Chipman is a dishonest anti-gun activist who cannot be trusted to act in good faith. Urge them to vote against his confirmation. Keep it brief and courteous. If you don’t lift a finger to do anything else for gun rights this year, please at least call just one of these six senators. 202-224-3121 Joe Manchin, WV Pat Toomey, PA Susan Collins, ME Kyrsten Sinema, AZ Jon Tester, MT Lisa Murkowski, AK View Quote Add John Cornyn to that list, he IS NOT on our side. He was just re-elected and plans on retiring after his term is up. We need to hold his feet to the fire on all things 2nd Amendment. From the GOA today: We have an emergency on our hands. While preparing to fight back against the ATF’s unconstitutional regulation of pistol braces, we learned some disturbing news… Senator John Cornyn -- a Republican who should be pro-2A -- is quietly making a deal with the rabid anti-gunner, Chris Murphy, to pass universal background checks. We need EVERY gun owner in America to take action right now to prevent what would be Armageddon for the Second Amendment. Please add your name to our pre-written letter urging your two Senators to VOTE NO on universal background checks. ADD YOUR NAME If John Cornyn, who represents the state of TEXAS, is already considering stabbing gun owners in the back, then you know that we’re truly in a DIRE situation. But we cannot give up. Our God-given rights hang in the balance. You see, there is one thing that always gets Senators moving: FURY from grassroots voters like YOU. A recent survey conducted by Gun Owners of America found that a WHOPPING 92% of gun owners would NEVER vote for a Senator who votes for universal background checks. Senators like John Cornyn naively believe that they can throw their voters under the bus just to win three seconds of praise from the liberal media that hates their guts. That’s why I need your help telling Cornyn and EVERY Senator the simple truth: if they betray their constituents, we will never support them.

Good job ! This chipman bozo was on the tele saying all these new gun owners should just put their new guns in the cupboard..way back and leave them there. and if we ever get attacked by zombies, then they can use them. where do you begin with this insane logic? he is a flat out lunatic

So will the new receiver rule mean I can't transfer a gun unless I serialize my upper receiver? For both rifles and pistols?

Its not loading for me on the phonefag. Is it too much to edit the message to include "Everyone involved with Waco Texas and the murder of 70+ women, children and innocent men, and defense of federal government thereafter, deserves to hang in the public square, for treason and acts of war against The People and The State"?
I mean, founding fathers said fuck this shit over tea tax and other discrepancies. Are we not well beyond the point of putting the government in final Check, and Balance this shit out? The slow erosion is apparent for anyone willing to look. It all amounts to major transgressions against the people, putting us in a position we cant vote and legislate ourselves out of. Like water against a rock. One drop is nothing, but drops turn to a steady drip, into a steady stream. That, overtime, completely destroys the rock. One drop at a time. The water needs to be managed, the rock, The Constitution, The Foundational Ideas that make America, cannot defend itself. Cannot manage the water itself. Water is law. Management of the water is order. Were all living off the Tree of Liberty growing from the rock.....water alone isn't enough. |

Fuck Chapped Ass Chipman but that photo is not him. He didn't get there until after the fire.
Chipman is still as equally a piece of shit in my mind, but if we accept and spread false information, it discredits us and therefore negatively effects our cause. Everyone needs to call your reps, donate to the GOA, and do anything else possible to stop the march against our rights. If you're not fighting for your rights, you are inactively implicit in the degradation of them. Whoever reads this thread and does not one thing, FUCK YOU. In my mind, anyone who doesn't have a passionate interest in passing down freedom to their own children, is a solid piece of shit. |
