“It’s easier to buy a gun than to buy a beer,” says failed ATF nominee Dave Chipman on CBS News 10/27/2021.
I heard Dave Chipman say that on the CBS Evening News with Norah O'Donnell Wednesday 10/27/2021 and thought there would be a pretty big backlash to his statement but the Google only shows me one article referencing it:

I am SO TIRED of folk saying idiotic, obviously untrue things on the news and not being challenged on it!!!
A few years ago in the Twin Cities MN in some government committee meeting about how we needed more gun control I listened to community activists and clergy members testifying that under age kids could just go out and buy a gun. I was watching it on TV and wanted someone to get up and say "that is illegal and I will take you to the police and you can give them the details, like who and where this is happening, and we can arrest some folk." Of course this didn't happen but the narrative remains strong---just like 'anybody with a pair of pliers and a paper clip can turn a Remington 700 into a fully auto assault weapon machine gun'.
Note the proceeding was hyperbole but check out what actually went over the network TV one time.

"The big difference between a hunting rifle and an assault rifle is frankly the scope..."
