Gun violence discussed in social change lecture series

[SecularMotion]

Nearly nine years ago, Christian Heyne’s parents were shot in Ventura County, Ca., while returning a boat from a holiday vacation. His father survived three bullet wounds, but his mother was killed.

Heyne’s parents were two of the nine people killed or injured by Toby Whelchel, including himself, when he went on a 16-hour shooting spree in May 2005. Whelchel was able to obtain a handgun despite a history of arrests, Heyne said.

“My story is not a unique one,” said Heyne, who has been actively fighting gun violence since losing his mother nearly a decade ago.

Heyne, the legislative director of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, spoke to a group of about 15 students and faculty members in South Campus Commons last night about gun laws in the U.S., the effects of gun violence and what can be done to make a difference. The talk was part of Beyond the Classroom’s “People Power: Activism for Social Change” series.

1. “It’s not the same debate that it was two years ago,”

"Improvements in gun policy should include an expansion of who is prohibited from purchasing weapons, background check requirements for gun purchases, bans on military-style assault weapons and laws that prevent and punish adults who make guns readily accessible to children, Heyne said."

Sure sounds like the same debate to me.
There are a few other gems in that article but judging by that guys audience most people already see that he is a hack.
