I liked the movie a lot more than i thought. Especially like you said, when i thought about it. The only thing that absolutely puzzles me is that scene when that one guy saw this big CG gun above the house.
The way I saw it, Brolin's subconscious was telling him that the kids had been transformed into objects at that time. The gun imagery, in-universe, comes from Brolin's character's toxic masculinity. Out-of-universe it reinforces the school shooting allegory.
