Robert CekadaGUEST
So for example, uh, if this ad- if currently we get two and a half more years of, uh, continuing to do a great job on reducing violent crime, uh, holding violent criminals accountable, and improving systems, uh, and we can show that the regulations that actually make it through the process and become final regs-Uh, you have an administrative record that, uh, folks can argue and say, "No, no, what Rob Secata did has caused crime to go up." Okay, well, you have to be able to prove that 'cause if you go before a judge, a judge is gonna look for, uh, corroborating, uh, evidence to show that they're correct in their statement.

Robert CekadaGUEST
And the second portion of the proposal is to purge the old records, thereby really eliminating any way of putting together any sort of database down the road, even if a new administration tried to go down that path.

Robert CekadaGUEST
And, uh, if we were to do that, and if there was a- another Republican administration that came in four more years, that's six and a half years of an administrative record you can build up to show this didn't negatively affect law enforcement's ability to, uh, uh, identify, uh, criminals that are involved in firearms trafficking or are involved in violent crime, and would still preserve, uh, the integrity of the, uh, American gun owner without cr- this fear of a database.
