After Sandy Hook massacre, Republicans rebuffed federal gun control nearly a decade
In December 2012, a deranged gunman carrying an AR-15 rifle stormed into the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., and hunted children, killing 26 people, most of them under the age of 8.
Outraged Democrats demanded action after the rampage. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) took to the Senate floor with a blown-up Daily News cover blaring three words: “SHAME ON U.S.”
But across the decade since, the Democratic Party has failed to pass major gun control legislation, running repeatedly into a brick wall of Republican resistance.
Almost 3,900 mass shootings, defined as bursts of bullets with four or more victims, have bloodied the nation since Sandy Hook, according to a tally by the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit.
