Just like any other right we The People possess, the second amendment has the potential for abuse by the unjust. While we collectively mourn these wicked acts, as a population of free people, these are the inherent risks we must accept to fight. We petition you to take legislative measures to combat unlawful gun violence without encroaching on the peoples God-given rights. Specifically, the right of The People to bear arms.
"Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American..." -Tenche Coxe, The Pennsylvania Gazette 1788
