I've lived in 3 different countries (not USA) and in none of them there's a need to "make schools safer", because kids can't get guns anywhere... Weird.

But frankly I think the issue goes well beyond the "gun control" topic... It's a cultural thing: the idea that killing someone is an acceptable solution to whatever.

Perhaps the visceral need of many Americans to own guns is rooted in a sense of vulnerability and helplessness that only a gun can balance...?

"Solutions" like metal detectors or making school staff wear guns are just band-aids that attempt to mask wider, more serious issues within the fabric of American society....
