Calls For Trump To Nominate Pro Gun ATF Director
From The Truth About Guns:
Gun rights groups have already started making requests to President Trump, abolishing the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention being among the first. Unsurprisingly, it looks as if that request has already made its way onto a checklist, as one of President Trump’s goals this time around is to trim some of the proverbial bureaucratic fat. Lawrence Keane, senior vice president and general counsel of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, seems to agree that a good place to start is where taxpayer dollars are being spent on efforts to erode their own freedom.
Impeachment Drafted Against Potential ATF Director Chipman
From The Truth About Guns:
Republican in the House, however, are preparing in case the worst happens. They’ve drawn up a preemptive impeachment resolution should Senate Democrats manage to drag Chipman over the confirmation line.
ATF Director Resigning At End Of March
From FoxNews:
B. Todd Jones’ resignation is effective March 31. After that, Deputy Director Thomas Brandon will become acting director.
“I will truly miss leading and working side-by-side with these men and women in their pursuit of ATF’s unique law enforcement and regulatory mission,” Jones said in a statement Friday.
From The Hill:
The director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is stepping down following controversy surrounding the agency’s proposal to ban certain types of ammunition.
Jones, who in July 2013 became the first ATF director to be confirmed by the Senate and led the agency after a scandal involving the agency’s infamously botched Operation Fast and Furious gun tracking initiative, is departing shortly after the agency dropped a controversial attempt to ban certain armor-piercing bullets used in AR-15 rifles.
ATF Director: “Any 5.56 Round a Challenge To Officer Safety”
From The Washington Examiner:
In a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, ATF Director B. Todd Jones said all types of the 5.56 military-style ammo used by shooters pose a threat to police as more people buy the AR-15-style pistols.
“Any 5.56 round” is “a challenge for officer safety,” he said. Jones asked lawmakers to help in a review of a 1986 bill written to protect police from so-called “cop killer” rounds that largely exempted rifle ammo like the 5.56 because it has been used by target shooters, not criminals.
So the problem isn’t M855 but all 5.56 ammo? Sounds like they want to ban all ammunition.
