To Whom It May Concern,
In light of the recent devastating news, I would like to propose that the Council reconsider the confiscation of personal weapons.  I understand this may need to be made on a case by case basis, and that the Council may determine that no reconsideration need be made.  However, I find it disconcerting that law-abiding citizens are left with no recourse for defense against the violence of such criminals.  I understand as well that this may seem fruitless against many of the praeternatural citizens of Elysium.  But I would still like a chance to present my case and my situation.  I hope that I will receive a response to this request, even if there is to be no hearing.
Best regards,
Sydni Wilson

PS While I am not sure that I have any skills that would be beneficial, I would like to offer my assistance in finding the criminal(s) who did this.  Please let me know what I can do.  Thank you.

[OOC:  Let me know if this needs to be posted differently.  I wasn't sure if this was the proper format.]

Sydni Wilson,

Thank you for your concern in light of these recent events. After careful deliberation, we must announce that we feel the confiscation of weapons, or of those what are termed firearms, prevents further unnecessary bloodshed. Allowing citizens to have them would not halt the current events we are facing. While under panic, citizens may use such weapons inappropriately against each other and incur even more violence. We hope you understand our decision on this matter. It is no lightly case.

Law-abiding citizens have plenty of means of defense without the need of firearms. Blades and bows are lawful means of protection, among other things, and there are classes available to teach the appropriate techniques to beginners.

You may always sign up with The Guard of Elysium if you wish to help with finding the culprit. We are doing everything within our power, but help from someone such as yourself could bring us closer to finding who is responsible for these heinous acts.

Again, we thank you for your letter and concerns.


Sincerely,
Nkemdilim Uzoma
