Excerpts from Rick Santorum’s comments about students lobbying for stricter gun laws:
“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.”
“They took action to ask someone to pass a law. They didn't take action to say, ‘How do I, as an individual, deal with this problem? How am I going to do something about stopping bullying within my own community? What am I going to do to actually help respond to a shooter?’... Those are the kind of things where you can take it internally, and say, ‘Here's how I'm going to deal with this. Here's how I'm going to help the situation,’ instead of going and protesting and saying, ‘Oh, someone else needs to pass a law to protect me.’”
Seriously? Children shouldn’t ask
for protection?
At what age do you want the kids to start protecting themselves, Rick? The kids at Sandy Hook were 6 and 7. If you could have defended yourself, or performed CPR, at age 6, with bullets flying and people being killed around you, you are one tough cookie!
I seriously have concerns about your mental health, if you honestly feel that students should have to learn to protect themselves against murderers instead of relying on adults to make their lives safer through legislation.
And by the way, Mr. Santorum, government exists by the people, for the people—not for the NRA.
Now, please go away.

I was watching an episode of “Chicago Fire” the other night, and the firefighters were in a house with bullets flying all around them; and these seasoned professionals were terrified—as who wouldn't be?
And I was hoping that Rick Santorum was watching, so he could see how truly stupid his remarks were.
