Eliminating the possibility | Letter

If the perpetrators did not have guns with the capability of mass destruction, mass destruction would not occur. It’s not about background or mental health checks, it’s about eliminating the possibility of mass killings/injuries.

In the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment, the Founding Fathers’ “right to bear arms” was intended to provide for self defense, not protect possession of weapons they could not even dream of back then.

Such capability should be limited to military use, not available for general public abuse.
