SenJohnBarrasso | Glad the Biden admin finally realized David Chipman is the WRONG person to lead ATF. Chipman is an anti-gun extremist who would have been the most radically anti-gun director in ATF history. @POTUS needs to nominate someone who has respect for the #SecondAmendment. https://t.co/2hJos8wy11 | Republican | gun control | The author of this text supports gun control. | 2 | 2 | 1 | gpt-4o-2024-05-13 |

SenHydeSmith | Criminals who burglarize, rob, and steal from federally licensed firearm retailers must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. @LindseyGrahamSC FFL Protection Act would enhance criminal penalties to help take violent criminals off our streets and increase public safety. | Republican | gun control | The author of this text opposes gun control. | 2 | 2 | 0 | gpt-4o-2024-05-13 |
