The Sandy Hook Advisory Commission will begin its grim work Thursday with an update on the police investigation into the Newtown, Conn. school massacre and presentations on the Columbine and Virginia Tech shootings.
According to the Hartford Courant, 16 experts, appointed by Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy, will convene for the first of a series of meetings to review the Dec. 14 mass killing last year and propose improvements to current policies related to student safety, gun violence, and mental health.
On Dec. 14, a lone gunman entered Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown and opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle, killing 20 children and six adults before taking his own life. Only the 2007 school shooting at Virginia Tech, where 32 students and staff members were killed, resulted in a greater loss of life caused by a single shooter.
The panel's first witness will be Danbury Assistant State's Attorney Stephen J. Sedensky, who will give one of the few official statements about the police investigation.
The Courant reported that former Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter, who was Denver district attorney at the time of the 1999 Columbine attack and a member of the Columbine Review Commission, will also speak. He will be joined by the University of Virginia's Richard Bonnie, a consultant to the Virginia Tech Review Panel and chairman of the Virginia Commission on Mental Health Law Reform.
The meeting, to be broadcast live on the Connecticut Network, coincides with the introduction of federal gun control legislation in Washington.
Members of the Connecticut delegation, along with congressional leaders, will propose banning assault weapons and ammunition magazines with more than 10 rounds.
"There is a fight coming,'' Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy, a Democrat, told the Courant.

if someone buys a weapon in one state that is legal, then moves to a state where it is illegal, what is supposed to happen?
Of course many think it wasn’t a rifle, when the dishonest conspiracy mongers keep propagating a month-old, incorrect story to that effect in order to mislead people.
Just wow. You are such a great researcher.
Well no, that would be wrong. Try again.
Thanks for pointing out that view in the clip.
Some questions.
Why shoot out the glass in the window next to the door ? Was the door locked?
So are you saying that all the kids and parents of that school, and the police, and the medical personnel, and the 28,000 residents of that town are all crisis actors???
Are they still crisis acting 30 days later???
When will it be okay for the 28 people who are acting like they are dead and the rest to quit acting???
The door locked everyday at 9:30 automatically per reports.
I think it’s one of those solid steel doors.
So the only way through it was to go around it and blow out the glass window next to it.
Ever seen the sci-fi series EUREKA ?
What if Homeland Security created the whole town, and staffed it to use as practice ground and to implement gun control.
The weird coroner, the weird 'helpful' old man, the ambulances not being allowed near the school. No children around a building that had 600 panicking children ? Non grieving parents. Actors.
The school is new. The community is new. The government agency doing this was so creative they came up with the always original "NEW TOWN" for it's name.
Think about it. The whole town. Is is possible? Would our government go to such lengths?
Thank you both for the links. News to me.

Sandy Hook police report still months away
snip

Malloy reminded panel members that he is looking for recxommendations for reducing gun violence, bolstering school safety and improveing mental health services.
The governor gave the Sandy Hook commission a March 15 deadline to report back to him.

Thanks. I didn’t want to assume either way.
Nicely formed hole in the glass. Probably did that with the ‘assault weapon’.

Ignoring the opinions of the commentator, are you saying the video clips contained in this video are not true?
“On Dec. 14, a lone gunman entered Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown and opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle, killing 20 children and six adults before taking his own life. Only the 2007 school shooting at Virginia Tech, where 32 students and staff members were killed, resulted in a greater loss of life caused by a single shooter.”
OK, experts: what do these two incidents have in common? Could it be that a heavily armed cowardly mental case chose to shoot up roomsful of sitting ducks?
And, pray tell, why were the victims sitting ducks? Could it be that some “experts” decided no one should have any firearms within 1000 feet of an educational establishment? Could it be that disarming law-abiding citizens leads to death when any fool knows that madmen don’t follow any laws or rules?
Thanks. It sounds more like the SWAT guys broke out the windows.
If the principal at Sandy Hook had had a handgun in her desk drawer that morning and the willingness to use it, things might very well have turned out differently.
Except that Lt Vance says that Lanza was not buzzed in. And there is that police dispatch reporting broken glass in the window next to the front door. I think they may have then broken more of it to make it easier for themselves to get in.
“What makes you say that??? What makes you think that they don’t have video tape of the shooting??? Did they say so???”
Did you notice I said SUPPOSEDLY.
It was in a report that I read - which means like most everything else - who knows what is true.
Somewhere there is a male oh wait female bus driver that needs to be asked why he/she dumped off kids at Gene Rosen’s house instead of the Firehouse.
