Installing locks on classroom doors that can be locked from the inside

[Jupiter60]

They have been discussing installing locks on classroom doors that can be locked from the inside of the classroom in response to school shootings. Why are they discussing this instead of talking about banning guns? Wouldn't banning guns be easier?

Banning Firearms would have already been done if it were easy. (This is a somewhat borderline subject for the forum, plenty of political angles.)

I personally don't think a door lock would provide much protection, too easy to get around that with a high power weapon. I would think the entire doorway would have to be hardened to be effective.

Most doors already lock from the inside, e.g. the Texas shooter locked himself in a classroom.
