The U.S. death toll from gun violence since Newtown is more than 33,000. When will we wake up?
One year ago this week, a seemingly unimaginable event took place in Newtown, Connecticut.
Adam Lanza, a disturbed and isolated young man took the guns that were
legally purchased and kept in his home and drove to the Sandy Hook
elementary school. He shot his way inside with an AR-15 assault rifle
and proceeded to kill 26 people – 20 of them young children.
It was a crime that spoke, perhaps more than any other in recent
memory, to America’s deadly and debilitating fascination with guns. Here
was the sickness of this nation’s gun culture on vivid display.
