This is too fucked up! Queue Twilight Zone music..
The name of South Hinkley was changed to Sandy Hook just for the movie.
There could be a tie-in with Hinkley (who shot Reagan) and a Pavlovian response to gun-control discussion and the emotional triggers inherent.
People who remember when Reagan was shot will no doubt remember the wide discusssion of gun-control. As though Sandy Hook is the new Hinkley.
In fact the Hinkley shooting was the basis for the 'Brady Bill' [see discussion in thread]
Brady Law, in full Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, an element of Pres. Bill Clinton’s 1993 crime bill. It called for a five-day waiting period for the purchase of a handgun and, after 1998, a background check of any individual purchasing a firearm from a federally licensed dealer. Before the measure became a law, it was popularly known as the Brady bill, named for James Brady, the White House press secretary who was seriously injured in the 1981 assassination attempt against Pres. Ronald Reagan. Brady, confined to a wheelchair and unable to resume his duties, campaigned hard for the bill, but it was fiercely opposed by the National Rifle Association (NRA), one of Washington’s most formidable interest groups. Even supporters of the Brady bill conceded that it was unlikely to have a major effect on crime, but they welcomed its passage as a step toward more limits on the easy availability of handguns in the United States. The waiting period aspect of the law went into effect on Feb. 28, 1994, and the background check provision came into force on Nov. 30, 1998, with the creation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System database.
