3. Release of the Sandy Hook photos would be controversial but it

might horrify the public to the point where they would bring to bear a whole new level of pressure on our elected officials. I don't think Republicans would even wince looking at the pictures, but the public would be forced to remember the obscene and horrendous shame of that massacre of little children and teachers. I don't feel like America has ever really and fully synthesized the horror of that crime. It was too hard to face but maybe enough time has gone by that we need to resurrect the reality of Sandy Hook.
