Schools are safer than they were in the 90s

Law is not the only variable and is not deterministic. Social environment and cultural values are of great influence.

The US media glorifies violence and yet censors the reality of it.

How many of those other countries with stricter gun control laws have been involved in as many violent conflicts across the globe as the US?

The UK has invaded everywhere and has a total ban on handguns after the school shooting incident.

(also, perhaps surprisingly to Americans, school trained me on guns at 14: http://atc.wikia.com/wiki/L98A2_Cadet_GP_Rifle )

This discussion is framed around recent decades, not centuries. The US has been far more violent than the UK on the world stage in recent decades.
