Robert Cekada(@ATFDirectorRC):𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗦 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥. In FY2025, ATF’s National Tracing Center received 654,879 firearm trace requests from local, state and federal law enforcement, not one suppressor for $95,000. The claim that ATF spends $95,000 to trace one suppressor is based on fundamentally flawed math. The funding being cited in the video supports technology and infrastructure used to process hundreds of thousands of traces for more than 10,500 law-enforcement agencies. We should absolutely scrutinize government spending, but we should do it with accurate numbers. I’ll always be transparent about where ATF is spending taxpayer dollars. I’ll also gladly correct the record when the facts are wrong.

@ATFDirectorRC @realDonaldTrump @POTUS @WhiteHouse what are we doing?. $95,000 to trace a single suppressor?, $95,000 per item?. What are we doing? @ATFDirectorRC you have the opportunity to do better than your predecessor. Do the right thing!.
