WASHINGTON (AP) â Attorney General Merrick Garland said Thursday he hoped the Senate would confirm the head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, to help front the federal effort against gun violence.
The nomination of David Chipman has been stalled as Republicans and the National Rifle Association work to sink it. Chipman is a two-decade veteran of the ATF who served as an adviser to a major gun control group and would be the first formal leader since 2015.
âAs you all know, ATF is on the front lines of our efforts to battle gun violence,â Garland said during a visit to the agency s headquarters. âWe are very hopeful that the Senate will soon act.
