Thank you, Mr. Chair, for the opportunity.
Thank you to our witnesses for being with us today.
I want to pick up on the line of questioning that we heard in the first panel, around the bill having no explicit reference to gangs or crime. I forget the exact language that was used. In my experience there are plenty of examples of legislation that have an impact on certain people or certain things without using that exact term or phrase.
I want to go over a couple of examples. When it comes to the ability to trace firearms, in your opinion, is this going to help investigate crimes committed by criminals and gangs?
Mr. Koops.
