You seem VERY afraid, I don't need a gun to feel safe, perhaps I just have more 'balls'?
While I don't really care about the size of your "balls" , there is nothing to be afraid of. My wife and I both utilize our Constitutional right to carry a firearm. We break no laws doing it. It is our right, and you are free to call it what ever you want.
In China almost all the schools are walled in with 1-2 entrances that are both guarded. Does it seem a little dystopian, perhaps... but I personally didn’t feel anything wrong. I’m no expert on the matter, but I do think our schools should be fortified. What does that say about our country and culture, you can figure that one out.

When 100 people are killed in a weekend in places like St. Louis , yeah... we definitely have a cultural problem. Or when a teen is so full of anger and hate the only think they can resort to is killing , yeah we definitely have a cultural problem.
I lived in the district that Columbine was in, and I believe they had one, unarmed security guy, and the perps new he'd be in the opposite end of the building at that time. So, no we don't already have what I am recommending.
They actually had a SRO, Jefferson County Sheriff's Deputy Neil Gardner, who was armed. There was another security guy there that was unarmed, for whatever reason. I don't know that Harris and Klebold ever factored the security into their equation as their plan was to set off the bombs in the common area and shoot survivors as they fled the building.
Interestingly enough Eris Harris and Neil Gardner exchanged gunfire that day. But Gardner was on school grounds and not in the building where Harris and Klebold were. See, Gardner and his unarmed boss had gone to get something to eat off school grounds right before the shooting started.

Thanks for the clarification. It has been a lot of years.
There is no panacea for this problem, and banning guns isn't the answer either. The root cause is societal which is always a difficult issue to address.

Every nation on earth has societal problems. Our unique problem is that our deranged and loony people have ready access to guns. Something which is not the case in most other first world nations.

Thanks to Deinstitutionalization in the 80's we have what we have now.

That has never happened.
