DETTELBACH HEARING FOR ATF
HEAD COULD START NEXT WEEK
By Mark Chesnut
T
he U.S. Senate confirmation hearing for Steven
Dettelbach, President Joe Biden’s latest anti-gun
nominee to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives (ATF), could start as early
as next week. So, now’s a good time to take another
look at Dettelbach, what he stands for and the battle
ahead for Second Amendment advocates.
As a reminder, Biden nominated Dettelbach at
a White House ceremony on April 11, just seven
months after he was forced to withdraw his nomina-
tion of David Chipman for the ATF leadership role.
A devout anti-gun advocate, Chipman favored all
kinds of strict anti-gun measures, and strong opposi-
