The gun lobby is a powerful all opponent and the best weapon we have on our side is the outrage from the American People. It is growing. If we keep at it. We will win. We dont control the house. We dont control the senate, but we have the people of america on our side and if we continue to have votes and force people to vote, we will win. Let me tell you something today.

Where we found that some standards previously were either outdated or didnt reflect the tasks actually required in combat, important work has been done to ensure each position now has standards that are grounded in real world operational requirements.
