On 14 December it will be 10 years since the Sandy Hook elementary
school mass shooting, when a 20-year-old killed 20 children aged
six and seven, as well as six adults. The Guardian’s Joan E Greve
travelled to Newtown, Connecticut to speak with Nicole Hockley and
Mark Barden of Sandy Hook Promise, the parents of Dylan and Daniel,
who were killed that day. She meets teenagers from the Junior
Newtown Action Alliance, who now go through terrifying lockdown
drills as preparation for another shooting, who want to see more
change in gun legislation. She also speaks with Senator Chris
Murphy, who helped draft the first significant gun control policy
in the US in 30 years this year. Together they discuss what more
could and should be done to stop such tragedies
