NRA-ILA | Take Action: Gun Prohibitionist David Chipman Provides Disqualifying Testimony at Senate Confirmation Hearing (nraila.org)

The most damning testimony that Chipman provided concerned his desire to ban so-called “assault weapons.” Chipman has a long record as a paid gun control advocate of supporting sweeping efforts to outlaw some of America’s most popular rifles, including the iconic AR-15. He is also on record insisting that the prior federal “assault weapons” ban did not go far enough.

Most chillingly, Giffords recommends that firearms lawfully acquired before the ban not be exempted from its scope, raising the prospect of forceful confiscation from those who do not voluntarily relinquish their guns.
Needless to say, nationwide adoption of these standards would affect tens of millions of common firearms owned by people who use them exclusively for lawful purposes, including the wildly popular AR-15. It is as radical a position as can be imagined for a country in which the Constitution has been authoritatively interpreted by the U.S. Supreme to protect firearms “’in common use at the time’ for lawful purposes like self-defense.”

'Assault weapon' is in fairness not too meaningful, though a participant in the Waco siege wouldn't be too fussed by that. It would be whatever he wants it to be, neither more nor less, like Humpty Dumpty in Alice in Wonderland.

That explains why Mr. Chipman was not able to define it when asked.

Yet when pressed by committee members to define or describe the types of firearms he would like to see included in assault weapons bans, Chipman refused to display any courage for the convictions he espoused as a gun control advocate or any relevant technical expertise. He simply would not answer the question, as best exemplified in an exchange with Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA). “Just give me your definition,” Kennedy pleaded, after confirming that Chipman still supported a ban. When Chipman refused, Kennedy finally concluded in frustration, “I’m done, Mr. Chairman. I don’t think I’m going to get an answer.”

Americans have already proven to their overlords and the world that they won't use their AR15s or any of their guns at the most apropos time as defined by the 2nd Amendment. So there's really no reason to keep any of their guns. Hand 'em over.

If you've seen the video where Chipman is grilled by Sen. Cruz about banning AR-15's, you can see him reminisce about Dr. Pepper and his good times in central Texas.

Apparently burning women and children alive in the Waco siege is a good time for this man.
