President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms said during a confirmation hearing that he supports a ban on one of the most popular guns sold in the United States.
“With respect to the AR-15, I support a ban, as has been presented in a Senate bill and supported by the president,” David Chipman told Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
The Ruger AR-556, a similar model to the Colt AR-15, was the best-selling semi-automatic rifle in the United States for the first five months of 2020, according to the National Shooting Sports Federation.
“The AR-15 is a gun I was issued on ATF’s SWAT team and it’s a particularly lethal weapon and regulating it as other particularly lethal weapons I have advocated for,” Chipman continued.
By his definition of “assault weapon” any semi-automatic rifle accepting a magazine with a caliber greater than .22 including .223. practically all firearms would be banned. But, you know the criminals, thugs and gangs, are going to turn theirs in too so it’ll be ok.
Who will get the guns off the streets? Nobody has answered this question yet!! They still haven’t gotten drugs off the streets!! What a joke!!
You bring the alcohol , tobacco and firearms and I’ll bring the chips.
