After 26 victims were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, it was called "an unprecedented opportunity" for gun control. Grieving parents vowed to fight for what they called "sensible solutions to prevent gun violence."

That's according to a report by the PBS series Frontline, where Sarah Childress is an investigative reporter.
