on this day in 2012, 20 children and 6 adults are killed in mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT. And with the awful shooting at Brown University yesterday, we still haven't done anything on meaningful national gun laws. Enough is enough.

It's been 13 years since Sandy Hook.

These kids should be in college right now.

Instead, families are still mourning—and gun violence is still the #1 killer of kids in America.

Our children deserve leaders who do more to protect them.
