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. (More Rick Santorum stories.)
