The four year anniversary of the tragic elementary school shooting at Sandy Hook is approaching. Unfortunately, as with every school shooting since Columbine, these anniversaries turn political and anti-gun. And by this I mean that sadly, any rhetoric, dialogue, op-eds, or ads surrounding the anniversary misses the point. Sandy Hook, is no exception.

On December 2, 2016 some of the families involved with the Sandy Hook Promise unveiled a jarring chilling ad. I recommend that our readers watch it at least twice.

As I mentioned above, the ad sadly and utterly misses the real story of what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary.

Were teachers and students shot by a student? Yes.

Was an AK-47 involved? No.

Was Sandy Hook a high school as the ad depicts? No.
