The article has a lot of comments from doctors about the ridiculous comments about the futility of doing CPR on a victim bleeding out from being shot by high velocity bullets.
The video in the article about what the bullets do to a body is very informative. Everyone should watch the video.

(2,004 posts)I thought it was very thought provoking to hear doctors speak about their experiences. The broadcast media hardly ever has a doctor on to explain what happens to the human body when they get shot by one of these high velocity bullets.
You would think law enforcement would speak out about having to face these weapons on the street. Clearly from the reaction from the police officer on duty at Parkland, the police know what they are facing with these weapons.
The media has moved on to talking about porn stars and bunnies, rather than discuss what is happening to the death and destruction in our communities.
Of course, suicide from guns is taking a horrific toll in rural communities. This epidemic is also ignored.
The fact that Rick Santorum has not been removed from his job at CNN is truly shocking to me. His statement proves he is more interested in bullying defenseless children than doing what his right. He is a predator. His victim blaming is disgusting. Clearly, he will do anything for a dollar. He has shown his true colors. His claim of being "pro-life" is a joke. We need a catchy phrase for scum like Santorum who give aid and comfort to cowardly killers for the sake of gun manufacturers to make obscene profits by manipulating frightened men into wasting their money on these absurd weapons. Without these weapons of war, these people with violent tendencies would not be any near as deadly.
The biggest joke is when these fools claim they go hunting with these weapons. Hunting with high velocity bullets will yield a game animal that is so pulverized, the flesh will be inedible. If people are hunting with these weapons, it proves they are fascinated by slaughter and gore and have no interest in hunting for sustenance for their family. Anyone who claims they need the weapons to go hunting has just identified themselves as a threat to their families and communities. Cruelty to animals is a warning sign of sociopaths.
