On another note, if they can’t get guns, they’ll make homemade explosive devices out of fertilizer and blow the school up.

Not for lack of trying. Columbine, for example, was meant to be a bombing. Luckily, the bombs didn’t go off, but they were still able to kill 15 people because they had guns. If they didn’t have guns, then it would’ve just been a failed bombing, not a school shooting and failed bombing. I think it’s a false equivalence to say “oh they’ll just make bombs and it’ll be the same as if they had guns,” because homemade bombs are a lot easier to fuck up, they’re not nearly as effective as guns.
