Sir, – Towards the end of his inauguration speech, President Donald Trump said, “Together, we will make America strong again. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again.”

Surely it is now more imperative then ever for him to want to strive to make America safe again too.

It is indeed too late for those who perished on the streets of Las Vegas, but it is not for the rest of the nation that he purports to cherish so dearly.

By tightening gun control laws, he can show that those who died will not have done so in vain. – Yours, etc,
