Living for 32 – Demanding Justice for those Killed and Injured
Click on arrow to learn more!
Colin Goddard was in the right place at the right time – in French class at Virginia Tech -- on April 16, 2007. That same morning Seung-Hui Cho began a violent rampage with two guns across the college campus that left 32 dead and 17 wounded. He shot Colin four times.

Living for 32 is Colin's story of transformation from gunshot survivor to advocate with the Brady Campaign to demand that our elected leaders do more to protect us from gun violence or face the consequences of their actions.

This 42-minute documentary has received wide acclaim, including earning a selection for the 2011 Sundance Festival.
April 16, 2012 marks the Fifth Anniversary of Virginia Tech.  

Student organizers have arranged events on April 16, at colleges coast to coast. Living for 32 will be screened during the gatherings, and a Q and A session with Goddard will be live-streamed from George Washington University in Washington D.C. across the nation.

Colin Goes Undercover to Expose Irresponsible Dealings at Gun Shows

Colin Goddard, a student who was shot four times at Virginia Tech on April 16, 2007, worked with the Brady Campaign to record how easy it is to buy guns without a Brady criminal background check from many irresponsible unlicensed sellers.

Colin’s undercover footage of gun shows has sellers making statements such as “There’s no tax. There’s no paperwork. That’s worth something.” The buyers didn’t even have to show a driver’s license.

Colin’s goal is to encourage Americans to call on Congress to close the loophole that allows dangerous people to buy weapons at gun shows without a Brady background check.

As part of the campaign, Colin sent an email to Brady supporters with a short video of his ordeal at Virginia Tech urging them to forward his video and sign a petition to Congress demanding that it close the gun show loophole.

Our national policy should be: no background check, no gun, no excuses.
