Gun Violence Restraining Orders bills

More than four years after the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting, the sense of loss has not diminished in Newtown, Connecticut. But some of the grief has been channeled into action. Passing gun violence prevention policy has been an uphill battle and near-impossible on the national level. Last month Republicans rolled back a rule that would have made it harder for some people with mental illness to purchase guns. The policy was put in place by President Obama in part because of the school massacre in Newtown.
