An anonymous California businessman has reportedly donated $62,500 to ensure that the firearms used in the 2017 massacre at a Las Vegas concert will be destroyed.

The donor, only described as a San Francisco software executive, recently came forward after hearing debate over whether to sell the weapons to raise money for the victims or have them destroyed, The New York Times reported.

It was tugging at my heartstrings and it seemed like a horrific situation for the families to deal with this choice, the donor, who said he is not an anti-gun activist but does favor stronger gun control, told the paper. I wanted to alleviate some of the pain or at least not allow it to get worse.
