The Sandy Hook Advisory Commission has met to discuss finalizing their report to the Governor and the legislature. 

Part of the discussion was about including photographs of the victims in their dedication.  Member Chris Lyddy, a former Newtown state Representative, says they should make a statement that the families don't necessarily endorse the report if they provide a photo.  Lyddy says many of the families have diverging views on mental health, school safety, and gun protocols and may not they agree with the full report.

Lyddy also mentioned that the families testifying before the Commission have told the group what they've been able to do in their recovery.  They have one central location where people are directed to communicate with them and to learn about their family member.  He suggested they also direct people to that site, MySandyHookFamily.org.

When it comes to how to refer to the man who carried out the shootings, the Commission wants to have a unified voice.  Many of the Commission members agreed that the report should have one mention of the gunman's full name as a reference, and then just the initials AL. 

Dr Harold Schwartz was also part of the writing group for the Child Advocate's report and says that was their conclusion as well.  He says some victim's families said they had extreme emotional reactions to hearing the man's name.  Other said the use of the name humanized him.  If there was a secondary reason to use initials, Schwartz said for some, the use of the full name aggrandizes the shooter and creates a negative legend of sorts.

The Director of the National Center for School Crisis and Bereavement sits on the panel.  Dr David Schonfeld said by referring to the shooter only by that gives him a title or status that distills a complicated life down to one thing.

The final report from the Sandy Hook Advisory Commission will include a recommendation to ban the sale and possession of guns that can fire more than 10 rounds without reloading.  In its meeting Friday, the commission also decided to remove language from the report that would have acknowledged the importance of the Connecticut's gun manufacturing industry.
