TO THE EDITOR:
This month marks the sixth anniversary of the Virginia Tech massacre. Colin Goddard was shot four times at Virginia Tech but survived. The Young Democrats have the privilege of welcoming Colin to campus, this Monday at 7 p.m., for a discussion and an airing of his story, “Living for 32.”
The documentary is named both for the 32 students who died in Blacksburg, Va. and for the 32 Americans who are slain every day by gun violence. Colin is also the assistant director of federal legislation at the Brady Campaign Against Gun Violence.
In a week in which the Senate has taken up serious legislation on gun control for the first time in many of our lifetimes, we welcome all on campus, regardless of their stance on gun policy, to hear Colin’s story and to learn more.
