As he is lumped in with a few other nominees for various positions, I&#8217;m not sure what time his nomination hearing will actually be held but the live stream starts at 10 am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I expect Chipman to be asked fawning questions by Democrats such as Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and equally tough questions by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR). I think the final outcome will be a split vote with all Democrats voting to pass his nomination to the floor and every Republican voting against it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It goes without saying that you should have contacted your own senators before today to voice your opposition to Chipman. I have sent both personal emails and the auto-generated emails in opposition to Chipman whose nomination to head BATFE is the equivalent of nominating an avowed vegan to head the meat inspection division of the Ag Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you live the states of West Virginia or Arizona, I hope you have been putting a lot of pressure on Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Krysten Sinema (D-AZ) to oppose the nomination. The Democrats haven&#8217;t done away with the filibuster yet but even if they go to the &#8220;nuclear option&#8221; there is some hope that one or both of these senators would vote against Chipman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, it is now time to start making the calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grass Roots North Carolina released an alert aimed at North Carolinians which also suggests contacting Sen. Mitch McConnell. It includes a way to get around McConnell&#8217;s web form&#8217;s rejection of out-of-state comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure id=\"content_LETTER.BLOCK5\" class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>THIS IS SERIOUS!!&nbsp; <\/strong><br><strong>ATF NOMINEE CHIPMAN<\/strong> &nbsp;HAS MADE MILLION+ LOBBYING AGAINST YOUR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Act now, hearings start Wednesday<\/strong> <br><br><strong>IF THE CHIPMAN CONFIRMATION IS ALLOWED TO PASS IT WILL SPELL DISASTER FOR YOUR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS!<\/strong> <br>Joe Biden has found a&nbsp;<em>special someone<\/em>&nbsp;who hates your liberties as much as he does and wants to have that&nbsp;Waco Whacko&nbsp;head up the ATF or is it the &#8220;AFT&#8221; (to quote Biden). <strong>How could the Senate even consider confirming an anti-gunner to head up the ATF<\/strong>? <strong>SHOCKENINGLY<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>CHIPMAN HAS MADE IN EXCESS OF A MILLION LOBBYING AGAINST <em>YOUR<\/em> SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS!!!<\/strong> <br><br>When Chipman champions &#8220;gun safety&#8221; the real meaning behind the lie is<strong> <em>&#8216;no firearm protection from criminals for you&#8217;<\/em>&#8212;<\/strong>&nbsp;indeed,&nbsp;Chipman&#8217;s advice for you&nbsp;in these dangerous times<strong>&nbsp;is to&#8221;buy stronger deadbolts for the exterior doors of your home&#8221;<\/strong>.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br>Mr. Chipman (who worked as an ATF agent for 25 years)- ticks off each of the <strong>&#8216;take your firearms boxes&#8217;:&nbsp;<\/strong>he saddled up with <strong>Mike Bloomberg&#8217;s Everytown<\/strong> <strong>for&nbsp;Gun Safety<\/strong> (safety for criminals only). <br><br>To top it off Chipman is a Senior Policy Advisor for <strong>Gifford&#8217;s: Courage to Fight Gun Violence<\/strong>. <strong>What kind of a nut does Mr. Chipman have to be<\/strong>, to believe that the demoralized and defunded police will get to your home in time to save you in those precious seconds when death is at your door? <em><u>He didn&#8217;t care about the children burned to death at Waco, no doubt he doesn&#8217;t care<\/u><\/em> <em><u>about your safety either.<\/u><\/em>&nbsp;<strong>What kind of a nut would confirm someone who is against YOUR right to keep and bear firearms to head up the ATF?<\/strong> <br><br>A stronger deadbolt is a road bump to disaster if you have no means to protect yourself from the criminal kicking in your door-or breaking your window.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>A FIREARM IS A SHIELD NOT A SWORD!&nbsp;<\/strong> <br><br><strong>NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE YOUR SENATORS AND SENATE MINORITY LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL UNDERSTAND THAT&nbsp; A VOTE TO CONFIRM CHIPMAN IS AN ANTI-GUN VOTE AND YOU WILL TREAT IT AS SUCH.&nbsp; CHIPMAN MUST NOT BE CONFIRMED.<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED!<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\u00a0 The link below will take you to a website form.\u00a0<strong><u>It is not an email address.<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0Just click on the link and it will take you to the form. <br>Contact<a href=\"http:\/\/paracom.paramountcommunication.com\/ct\/58116298:s2_CBwdzN:m:1:345463350:7CFEE03BD12EFD2A71393128E3EE5B6C:r\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u00a0Thom Tillis using this link,<\/a>\u00a0and call him at 202-224-6342 and 919-856-4630. <br>Contact<a href=\"http:\/\/paracom.paramountcommunication.com\/ct\/58116299:s2_CBwdzN:m:1:345463350:7CFEE03BD12EFD2A71393128E3EE5B6C:r\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u00a0Richard Burr using this link,<\/a>\u00a0and call him at 202-224-3154 and 800-685-8916.<br><br><strong>Call AND Contact Mitch McConnell: Use both his phone number (202-224-2541 in D.C.
