(Newser) – The National Rifle Association just gained a new lifetime member: Bella, the 3-year-old daughter of Rick Santorum. He revealed his toddler's enlistment in a speech at the NRA's annual meeting in St. Louis today, reports CNN. "(My wife) Karen and I are life members of the NRA, and we wanted to announce today that ... now Bella is a life member of the NRA, too," he said. "I hope it is a long life." She suffers from a usually fatal chromosomal disorder called Trisomy 18.

 "Karen and I are life members of the NRA, and we wanted to announce today that ... now Bella is a life member of the NRA, too," he said...... "Whether she wants it or not."

I understand a Beretta BU9 Nano with a pink grip makes a perfect gift for any little girl.... And it's compact size and low recoil is ideal for small hands...
