Va. Tech Shooting Survivor Recounts 2007 Massacre & Urges Candidates to Address Gun Violence

DemocracyNow.org - On the eve of the first presidential debate, President Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney are being urged to address the problem of gun violence.

COLIN GODDARD: "The first presidential debate of this election is happening literally miles from both Columbine High School and Aurora, Colorado, two of the worst shootings in our country’s history. This is a debate about domestic policy. If there ever is a time to pose a question about gun policy in America to our candidates for president of this country, then this debate that’s happening on Wednesday is the time to do it. And we can’t afford to have a vague question asked about this that will get platitudes. We need a specific question asked about specific policies and specific ideas that both candidates have on how they will stop another 48,000 Americans who will be murdered with firearms during their next four years in office. I mean, if this is not a public health issue of utmost concern to our candidates, then they don’t have my vote.".
