Senate hearing for new ATF director David Chipman: Senator, I'm a cop not a lawyer

Chipman was also questioned by Republicans on his support for Congress to ban assault weapons and for universal background checks during the hearing, two actions Biden also supports.

He was asked by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) about if he thinks that District of Columbia v. Heller was rightly decided, which was the 2008 Supreme Court landmark ruling that the Second Amendment protects the right to possess firearms. 

“Senator, I’m a cop, not a lawyer,” Chipman said.
