President Barack Obama, please withdraw your call to congress for the ban of high capacity magazines and cease pursuing more stringent gun laws. More stringent gun laws will only prevent people from purchasing firearms and high capacity magazines legally.
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
--Thomas Jefferson, quoting Cesare Beccaria in On Crimes and Punishment (1764)
