Shortly before noon on Tuesday, Mark Barden stepped to a lectern in the East Room of the White House to introduce President Obama, who would go on to announce a series of executive orders aimed at curbing gun violence in the U.S.
Barden wasn’t just any warm-up act: he was the father of a boy named Daniel, an auburn-haired first grader with a gap-toothed smile who was killed in the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary in 2012. ”In the three years since those 26 precious lives were lost at that school, far too many more lives have been lost to gun tragedies in this country,” he said. “As a nation, we have to do better.”
