CNN commentator and former Pennsylvania GOP Sen. Rick Santorum 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.
A month after a mass shooting left 17 dead at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., thousands crowded into downtown Washington for a protest dubbed the March for Our Lives.
Bearing signs and chanting, demonstrators — led by survivors of the Stoneman Douglas massacre — called for action by Congress on gun control in response to the nation’s relentless two-decade stretch of campus shootings. Hundreds of “sibling marches” took place in cities across the United States.
