This is truly unconscionable & I need to speak out.
Look, we know "The Reload" is an extremist rag designed to pedal gun lobby lies.
But these desperate & baseless allegations about @POTUS nominee David Chipman are truly low — even for them.

Their sources? All unnamed. Convenient, right?
Also, here's a reminder about the NSSF from my friend @po_murray. They've spent millions block gun violence prevention legislation. #EndGunViolence

Of course NRA puppet Mitch McConnell is spreading the gun lobby's unfounded lies about gun safety expert David Chipman.
This is good time to remember how much money has McConnell taken from the NRA: Over $1.2 million.
There's a reason he's called Massacre Mitch. #EndGunViolence

Let's be clear, McConnell, the NRA, the NSSF, and our friends at The Reload don't have the interests of the American people at heart.
They work to make the gun industry rich — even when the cost is our safety. #EndGunViolence #EnoughIsEnough news.yahoo.com/dont-let-nra-d…

The facts?
President Biden nominated David Chipman because Chipman was a model ATF agent for 25 years.
Chipman will enforce our nation’s existing gun laws, plain and simple. pressherald.com/2021/06/24/let…

He's a owner. A father. A lifelong public servant.
David Chipman is *the* most qualified person to be ATF Director.
Listen to retired ATF agents and public safety leaders urge the Senate to #ConfirmChipman.

So what are is the gun lobby scared of?
Losing money. They think Chipman is a threat to their goal to sell more guns.
Let me explain. (And btw, read more about the NSSF's gross tactics and motives here.) huffpost.com/entry/david-ch…

For years now, the ATF has let gun dealers off the hook.
Recently, we at @bradybuzz worked beside @USATODAY to expose how the ATF — which hasn't had a permanent director since 2015 (!!!) — dangerously fails to properly oversee the gun industry.

Let's recap:
The gun lobby does not want an effective leader to lead the ATF because they fear a crackdown on gun dealers who break the law = less profits.
What we should care about more? Ensuring we have an agency able to fulfill its duty — not one in bed with the gun industry

Senators must resist this smear campaign and put our safety over gun lobby profits.
If they don't know who or what the NSSF is, they need to dig deeper. They need to identify the painfully obvious lies. #EndGunViolence #ConfirmChipman

(Seriously, it's been months now of doctored memes and Reddit posts cited as fact. This is a baseless smear campaign like no other — complete with desperate photoshop tactics.)

Gun violence has spiked & America is experiencing a surge in violent crime.
People are dying.
Yet the Senate is delaying its vote to confirm David Chipman. We cannot let the gun lobby run our government.
Please act now. #EndGunViolence @bradybuzz bradyunited.org/chipman
