Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee pressed David Chipman, President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, about his attitude toward new gun owners during his confirmation hearing Wednesday.
Lee invoked comments Chipman made in April 2020, where he compared first-time gun owners to people preparing for a zombie apocalypse. He also compared new gun owners to Joe Exotic, the gun enthusiast and main character on “Tiger King.”
