Mobilize Your Militants

“Let’s welcome Dr. Edward Smith!”

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.”

The audience clapped.

Earlier in a top-secret lab:

“Dr. Smith, when they reach herd pacifism, we can act?”

“That’s right, Frank; then you can mobilize your militants.”
