Because CPR Cures Gunshot Wounds
Santorum: Instead of calling for gun laws, kids should take CPR classes
Washington (CNN)CNN commentator and former Pennsylvania GOP Sen. Rick Santorum on Sunday suggested students protesting for gun control legislation would be better served by taking CPR classes and preparing for active shooter scenarios.
"How about kids instead of looking to someone else to solve their problem, do something about maybe taking CPR classes or trying to deal with situations that when there is a violent shooter that you can actually respond to that," Santorum said on CNN's "State of the Union."
Santorum's comments came a day after protesters assembled at March for Our Lives events in Washington and across the country to demand gun control legislation in the wake of the deadly school shooting in Parkland, Florida.
Santorum dismissed the usefulness of "phony gun laws" and appeared to call on students and others to improve their communities and to prepare to respond to further shootings instead of calling for new laws.

Re: Because CPR Cures Gunshot Wounds
By the way,,,,,,,,, is it not possible to learn CPR AND lobby for common sense gun laws?
I mean, are they somehow mutually exclusive?
While the teenagers are at it, maybe a few could study trauma surgery right after algebra class.

At least there is hope with the younger generation. It is no wonder that current politicians are looked at with such great disdain (and that applies to BOTH political sides).

"looking to someone else to solve their problem"
Otherwise known as peaceably assembling to petition the government for a redress of grievances. 
By the way, Children being murdered by the score in American schools is their problem?
Ricky, your empathy has just blown me away.

Swell, Rick. I'll pass your wisdom along to my grandchildren ages 10, 10, and 6.

Three? That's perfect.
The youngest can learn CPR.
One can work on precision rock throwing.
And the remaining 10 year old could snag some trauma surgery skills.
That way, our politicians can feel free to continue to do nothing about the problem.
