Patrice Gabriel sent a message to Edward Stack that said:
Dear Mr. Stack,
I just read an extraordinary story about you in the NY TIMES. You must be one of the most thoughtful, humane, empathetic CEOâs in the entire country. I cannot adequately express what a courageous, intelligent and strong statement you made in this story.And yes, no doubt assault rifles kill many more than a regular rifle or handgun. You are also correct in pointing out that this country needs to start somewhere.... And if we keep going as we are, people will own rocket launchers. Thank you for your common sense, leadership and for being an outstanding human being. Iâm still shopping at your store here in Las Cruces, and will do so until I drop. My very best regards, Patrice Gabriel
