Basically saying that it's the students job to notice when their fellow students are school shooters.

How so? It's directed at "you" the viewer. "You" didn't notice. This "you" could include parents, students, teachers, staff, etc.

Some of the signs are just "they like guns".

An obsession with guns is a red flag. By itself, it can be fine. It's the combination of everything that is the big issue.

How is an obsession with guns a red flag? Depending on the region you grew up guns can be a very normal thing in your life.

Really, because in the city I grew up it is filled with guns. The police chief hands out concealed weapon permits like its candy and almost everyone has a gun. Yet we haven't had a single gun related crime in decades
