WASHINGTON — One year after losing his son Daniel in the Sandy Hook school shooting, Mark Barden joined President Barack Obama at the White House as Obama unveiled a series of executive actions aimed at stopping more gun deaths.
Three years later in 2016, Barden was back at the White House, at Obama’s side again as he launched new gun control initiatives after Congress declined to change the nation’s gun laws.
