Virginia Tech shooting victim to speak at CU-Boulder

[SecularMotion]

A victim of the Virginia Tech massacre who survived four gunshots and is an advocate for tighter gun laws will give a public talk about gun violence on the University of Colorado campus Sept. 25.

The talk -- "Gun Violence in America: We are Better than this" -- will be at 7 p.m. in the Wolf Law Wittemyer Courtroom on CU's Boulder campus.

Colin Goddard was studying international studies at Virginia Tech in 2007 when he was shot during the April 2007 massacre.

1. This article has absolutely no information in it.

Why are you posting an ad for his speech?

[SecularMotion]

2. Are you my new stalker?

It's a notice for a speech by the assistant director of federal legislation at the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. He's an advocate for tighter gun laws. It may be of interest to Democrats who support reasonable regulations of firearms as stated in our party's 2012 platform.

Got a problem with that?

[Reasonable_Argument]

3. Yes, it's spam

If they had listed some of his arguments then I'd keep quiet, but there's nothing here. If you don't want people posting to your google dumps then don't post them. Get over yourself.

4. If you believe it's spam, use the alert function and stop disrupting threads.

[Cooley Hurd]

5. It's a news story...

10. Do you understand that where the shooting took place guns were already forbidden?

[rrneck]

15. You posted an OP.

That's an invitation for comment. It's only common courtesy to reply occasionally to responses to your invitation, especially when you post so many of them.

You are not being stalked.

[SecularMotion]

16. Hi stalker

Are you and RA a tag team?

[rrneck]

17. We're DUers in good standing.

This is not an echo chamber. If you don't want a response, don't post anything.

[glacierbay]

18. I get it

anyone who challenges you is a stalker.

[rrneck]

19. It's spamoganda.

This group is a big megaphone for his ideological spam. It's our job to shut the fuck up and accept it or we're stalkers.

That's how chickenshit ideologies work.

[SecularMotion]

20. "chickenshit ideologies"

[rrneck]

21. It's better to just ignore stalkers.

If you want to avoid having your OP jeered discuss the issue like an adult.

[ProgressiveProfessor]

25. I believe he meant to say "chickenshit ideologues"

[rl6214]

23. Yeah, a new stalker team.

Do I still get to be stalker #1?

[GreenStormCloud]

6. Another naive soul who thinks a killer will be stopped by a lesser law. N/T

[ileus]

7. He was already in a gun free zone...how much safer can one get?

[Trunk Monkey]

8. Colin Goddard is nothing more than a Brady shill NT

[4th law of robotics]

9. If only we'd dedicate the US a gun-free zone then we'd all be as safe . . .

as those students at VT.

11. "Goddard still has three of the four bullets in his body and a titanium rod implanted on his left...

...femur."

He must have a really fun time going through airport security.

[BigAlanMac]

12. I could be wrong, but....

I'm pretty sure that both titanium, copper, and lead are non-magnetic. Therefore not going to come up on a typical scan. That assumes the slugs are copper jacketed.

The titanium plate and six titanium screws in my neck have never set off a metal detector.

[holdencaufield]

13. Sorry, but you are wrong ...

... metal detectors detect the relative conductivity, not the magnetic field of, of items being scanned -- so both ferrous and non-ferrous materials are detected.

The reason your screws don't set off a detector is because of the threshold settings of airport machines are tuned to detect but not alarm on smaller items like fillings and surgical pins.

[slackmaster]

14. Guns and knives made primarily of titanium do set off the detectors

Your plate and screws are probably below the threshold of detection.

There are firearms that have almost no ferrous metal parts. This one has a magnesium/aluminum allow frame and a titanium alloy cylinder. Only the barrel sleeve, a few small screws, and the springs are ferromagnetic.

27. ^^Love my AirLight .357

The one in your picture is exactly like mine, with the exception of the front sight.

[rl6214]

22. Are you going?

That is your point, right? That you are going to attend.

Or is this just a public service announcment for those in the colorado area?

[X_Digger]

24. Goddard is on the payroll of the Brady Bunch.

He goes around campuses pimping closing the so-called "gun show loophole" (which had nothing to do with the shooting of which he was a victim) for money.

Why should we listen to a paid shill?

[ProgressiveProfessor]

26. Google dump of a paid shill for the Brady Bunch

[Clames]

28. Professional Victim

...I think that's the job title now.
