What is the expected opinion on that. I'm not from the US.

School teachers and school administrations tend to be skewed leftist / liberal relative to the average of the country as a whole.

Therefore, a student speaking in favor of 2nd Amendment rights or coming out sounding too "pro-gun" might find himself tagged for observation by the administration as an "extremist" or a potential threat.

For a school the expected opinion is that less guns is better.

That's highly dependent on the school. At my high school (rural Iowa) I can't see anyone taking issue with a pro-gun stance on a essay.
