The obvious outcome of increased security and scanning to get into schools is what happened at Annunciation where the shooter just shot from outside the security area since all of those people still gather and walk past unsecured areas.

Cops killed a lot of people with negligible effect on crime. You're making an assertion that needs some support in light of the track record of US policing.

I thought it was legal in America to bear arms? Is the constitution magically suspended in schools?

In many ways, yes. With guns specifically, the Supreme Court (in opinions authored by Justices Alito and Kavanaugh, believe it or not) has set a precedent that there are some government-controlled "sensitive places" within which it is reasonable and prudent to place restrictions on firearms. Legislative assemblies, courthouses, government buildings, etc.

So not even the most conservative justices buy into the idea that Americans have a right to bear arms everywhere.
