The Susannah Show’s audience clapped and cheered.

“So, Doctor—how and why?”

“It’s effortless, Susannah. Once ingested, The Restrictor utilizes the body’s own energy. As to why: we discovered the problem isn’t ‘gun violence’ but rather passion and irrationality. Even the most law-abiding, moral, and upstanding individual will have violent thoughts, and those thoughts can quickly translate into reality when the means are merely a finger pull away.”
