It's hard to make that work on a university campus, where most of the school's area is outside. Besides, if a metal detector goes off, who do you have inside to respond? Someone with a gun. A metal detector by itself is useless.
Posts suggesting that guns lead to uncontrolled firefights are made by people unfamiliar with guns. I've worked in situations where people had weapons, and not one person ever pulled a gun and opened fire.
