Also, put professional, armed security in place. No need for fences, or guard towers, etc.
Most schools already have this. Columbine and Marjory Stoneman Douglas both had armed resource officers, but that didn't do anything to keep either school safe.
It is, I only wish you guys (one of the UK's very best friends on the planet) would join us.
The sane Americans--and there are millions upon millions of us, even though it must not seem like it--wish the same thing. Unfortunately, our government is owned by the NRA right now.
But we're working on that. And the effort is being led by our astute and politically active young adults. Change is in the air.

Good to hear, hats off to this generation, sometimes it takes the spirit and courage of the young to really make changes. When kids at school get gunned down 'over there' it breaks our hearts 'over here' too.

You're right, we're far to arrogant and stupid to ever get their level of civilization.

I would have said the same thing about the gay marriage issue 15 years ago.
America is being dragged, kicking and screaming, out of the Middle Ages...whether we like it or not.

But do find it easy just to shrug off the fact that thousands of people are shooting each other to death over there every year? Even if doing 'something / anything' to try and change things resulted in ONE life saved wouldn't it be worth it?

If wanting to keep rights, and freedoms is arrogant, and stupid, and uncivilized, then guilty as charged!
