mr. delery, for your service in the department of justice as well as in private litigation. mr. jones, as you well know, probably better than any of us are, there's been a lot of debate about the ways to promote more rustic asian under existing law that is designed to prevent gun violence. and even for some of us who strongly favor improvements to that law, the question is what can we do to promote more rigorous and vigorous enforcement of existing laws that relate to either a legal purchases aren't illegal possession of firearms? and my own view is that inadequate resources are a major reason for the lack of sufficient prosecutions, or the failure to increase the number. and i would like you to comment on what you do as the reasons, or the ways that we can improve that rate of prosecution. >> well, two things, senator. one is unique and vibrant and healthy ats. part of the reason i'm here for this process is because they need a confirmed director. they've never had one. and for all the reasons we previously mentioned, that is an impediment to get stability, direction and guidan
