Sandy Hook Commission

The Sandy Hook Commission was a group formed to investigate the factors leading to the tragic mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012. Its goal was to understand what contributed to the event—such as gun laws, mental health issues, and societal factors—and recommend policies to improve safety and prevent future violence. The commission gathered expert insights, analyzed factors involved, and aimed to create informed, effective measures to enhance school security, address gun violence, and promote community resilience, ultimately seeking solutions to protect children and communities from similar tragedies.
