Tomorrow, Wednesday May 26th, David Chipman is scheduled to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee whose meeting starts at 10:00 a.m. EST. David Chipman has been nominated by President Biden to serve as the new ATF Director, and we are opposed to him serving in this role due to his long history as a gun control advocate. You can read more about his background here. We are asking that you please contact your Senators and urge them to opposeDavid Chipman as ATF Director by clicking the red button below.
The first of several Executive Actions that President Biden announced back in April now requires your input. President Biden directed the Justice Department to “propose a rule to help stop the proliferation of ghost guns” — and they have done just that. On Friday, May 21st, the proposed rule was posted in the federal register and the 90-day comment period officially opened. You can read the proposed rule here. We ask that you take some time to formulate your thoughts and submit a personalized comment by clicking the blue button below.
All comments are due by August 19th. Given that we have a couple of months before comments are due and any action can be expected by ATF, we are taking some time to go through the proposed rule and will be updating everyone on what the most egregious parts of this new rule are. In general, this proposed rule seeks to prohibit private individuals from possessing certain unregulated components commonly used by hobbyists to make their own firearms.
Yours in Freedom,
