Hartford – U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), and Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty (D-Conn.) issued the following statement regarding the report released today by the Sandy Hook Advisory Commission:

“We commend the Sandy Hook Advisory Commission for their diligent and dedicated service in the name of the 26 beautiful children and courageous educators whose lives were tragically and horrifically taken at Sandy Hook Elementary School over two years ago. This report should be required reading for every member of Congress as a concise and compelling roadmap to the commonsense public safety and mental health measures the vast majority of Americans need and demand. Connecticut has already led the way in adopting strong, courageous bipartisan gun violence legislation, and now it is time for Congress to follow,” Murphy, Blumenthal, and Esty said.
