      i was flabbergasted when i first heard americans have security & armed guards at schools. the closest to that any of the schools i went to had was cameras watching the doors and overweight PE teachers

        We don’t have that either. Best we can do is cops with excessive cowardice.

      Plenty of Western countries with lots of guns that don’t have the same issues with gun violence.

        Not nearly as many guns. No other country even has half as many guns per person as the US. But, even the ones that have a few guns (plus the ones that have almost no guns) have strictly enforced gun control laws, and treat gun ownership as a privilege not a right.
