GOP lawmakers threaten to impeach Biden ATF nominee David Chipman if he’s confirmed

A group of GOP lawmakers is threatening to introduce an impeachment resolution against President Biden’s nominee to run the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, David Chipman, if he is confirmed by the Senate. 

The House of Representatives conservatives, led by Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-Mt.), accused Chipman, who previously served as a senior policy adviser at the Giffords Organization, “high crimes and misdemeanors based on the grounds found in two distinct articles.”  The first article accuses Chipman of “failure to support and defend the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States,” with the lawmakers pointing to his work lobbying for and advising gun-control advocacy groups.
