Richard Shelby: “How is the ATF working cooperatively with you, with the FBI, on this?”

A complex and evolving security environment requires a serious commitment to our national defense.

As Senator Shelby at our Senate testimony hearing last March pointed out to us, we must maintain what we have before we can build new, and I think he hits the mark head-on.

The Department of Navy has played and will continue to play a critical role in the defense of our Nation.

Regrettably, this was all predictable and avoidable.
