Senator Susan Collins of Maine, not the most conservative of Republicans, has publicly come out against the confirmation of Chipman. She cited his past as a gun control advocate, and statements he made against both the legal firearms industry and law-abiding firearms owners. Not sure the site where I saw the quotes was allowable here as it is a "hard-core" conservative site, so I won't link to it. Her comments can be found with a quick search. I hope that if he has lost support of someone more centrist like Senator Collins, that his confirmation is toast...and he only has himself to blame.

I had not read that before. Chipman acts as if semi-automatic firearms are something relatively new, like they just popped up on the scene or something. Mass produced semiautomatic firearms have been around since the late 1800s, and started to become popular in the early 1900s; in other words, despite what that prevaricating Chipman spewed out in that interview, there is absolutely NOTHING new about semiautomatic firearms in civilian hands. Even the AR design is from the late 50s, and Colt began to sell them on the civilian market in 1964. Two of the biggest problems in this nation are ignorance and apathy.
