Children in school aren't yet of legal age to own firearms.
As for showing signs, if someone notices these signs, and doesn't report them, why would that person be restricted from buying a gun legally? If they did report those signs, then the psychiatric and legal system would have to intervene in such circumstances. Until the individual has committed a felony, or otherwise been barred legally from his constitutional rights, these are just hypotheticals.
What about Universities? This does hold pretty well true for mass shooters as well.
But let's think about this for a second. You are saying these people shouldn't be barred because they haven't been found to be a danger to themselves or others? Obviously. You can't restrict a right based upon nothing. This isn't Iran. But if probable cause is found, then you should restrict the right.
I guess what I am getting at is I don't really understand your position. Are you against guns because some people slip through the system? Because if that is the case, well that isn't right. People rarely slip through the system, but more importantly the act of any form of ban is not really the answer to people who are dangerous to themselves or others. The answer is awareness and educating the public.
