President Joe Biden is reportedly set to nominate a former federal agent and staunch gun control activist to helm the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.

The president on Thursday is expected to tap David Chipman, who served as a special agent for the ATF for 25 years, according to the Associated Press, which cited someone familiar with the matter.
