Doctors and surgeons had an important message for former Republican senator Rick Santorum on Sunday: CPR does not save people who are bleeding to death from AR-15 wounds.


The news flash directed at Santorum came after he suggested live on CNN that learning CPR was a better way for young people to take action in response to a mass shooting, rather than protesting gun violence and asking “someone else to solve their problem” by passing a “phony gun law.” The panel on CNN’s State of the Union show was discussing the March for our Lives, which drew upward of 800,000 people to the Mall Saturday to demand gun-control legislation. Many of the marchers — including the teenage organizers from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where Nikolas Cruz fatally shot 17 people last month — were students.

Santorum argued that they should try to learn how to respond to a mass shooter as an individual rather than demanding large-scale change from lawmakers...........................
