The mass shooting in Robb Elementary School school at Uvalde impulsed these donors to write this letter in an attempt to prevent these tragedies They also thanked senator John Corryn for his efforts to regulate gun policies. 

“We are grateful that our Senator John Cornyn is leading efforts to address the recent tragedies in Uvalde and elsewhere across our great Country,” 

The letter was paid by Todd Maclin, the director of a Dallas Based Finance Firm. He describes himself as a conservative gun owner that realizes the magnitude of the problem and is speechless by what happened at Uvalde, according to The Texas Tribune.
