NAFUSA member B. Todd Jones was interviewed yesterday on NPR’s “All Things Considered.” Click here to read or listen to the interview where Jones describes the tough challenges at ATF. Jones was confirmed by the Senate on July 31, 2013, as the first permanent director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives since 2006.

“There’s a sort of collective sigh of relief that not another person’s going to show up here for a bit,” Jones says in his interview with NPR. “You know, they had five acting directors in the seven-year span since they made it subject to Senate confirmation, which is difficult for any organization to build momentum or have continuity.”
