WATCH: Biden’s ATF Pick Provides His Definition Of An ‘Assault Weapon.’ His Proposed Ban Would Outlaw Most Rifles In America.

During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, gun control lobbyist turned ATF nominee David Chipman struggled to provide his definition of an “assault weapon,” even though he has previously advocated for an assault weapons ban. When he eventually provided his definition, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) pointed out the nominee’s definition would ban most rifles in America.

“Senator, an ‘assault weapon’ would be, in the context of the question you asked, what Congress defines it as,” Chipman replied.
