Huckabee has made a number of statements about what has happened, one that stood out to me was when talking about when he was in school. He said students, teachers, other staff members always had guns in their cars. Typically a gun rack in their truck. Many would go hunting before and after school. Not one time did a school shooting happen.

Another comment that sticks out to me (not said by Huckabee) was that we pay for armed protection to the president, various politicians, and even have armed guards protect gold. Is our children not more important and shouldn't they receive the same protection?

This school was in a state with the toughest gun laws and most advanced security system and he was still able to do what he intended.

IMO, had there been an armed guard standing watch, he may not have even made it past the front door.

My sons elementary and middle school would/have local police on site during drop off and pick up...not sure if they are on site throughout the course of the day.

On topic but a different angle...my wife told me about the teacher, Victoria Soto, who hid all of her kids in cabinets and closets, when the gunman entered her classroom she told him her kids where in the gym. Those were her last words. All of her kids are alive as a result of her heroism.

I don't know about you all, this has to be about one of the most courageous acts I've ever heard of. She made the ultimate sacrifice for her students. Typically we bestow medals for similar acts of courage in war time. My question is this....this teacher and hero needs our honor...what is the highest honor a civilian in the US can be awarded? Because she should be recognized.
