They were murdered 6 years ago today. We could have done something in the years since to address the epidemic of gun violence in the United States. We have done nothing. The news today is that gun violence has reached a 40 year high. The gun debate appears to be over. When we allow 20 children to be murdered in their school one must wonder. What level of murder and mayhem will it take for us to act? Over 20 killed in a church? No! Over 50 killed at a concert in Las Vegas? No!

The Sandy Hook victims would have been 12 or 13 this year. They are forever 6 or 7. Take a moment today to remember them.
