AUDIE CORNISH, HOST: President Biden has vowed to tackle what he calls an epidemic of gun violence in the country. The main agency that enforces federal gun laws is the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Biden has tapped David Chipman, a former ATF agent-turned-gun control advocate, to lead the agency. NPR justice correspondent Ryan Lucas reports.
RYAN LUCAS, BYLINE: David Chipman knows the ATF. He worked for the bureau for more than two decades, beginning his career as a special agent in Norfolk, Va.
RON TARRINGTON: We did a lot of gun-running cases, buying cheap handguns from dealers in the Norfolk area of Virginia Beach and trafficking of guns to New York City.
