As you said before, who would let a bunch of high school students carry around guns in a real world.

Merely using the real world as a basis and taking elements from it does not constitute making the entire setting the real world.

It's pretty much a parallel universe, as there are supernatural elements.
As I've stated already, it's clearly trying to explain the setting using real world logic. It says they're being trained to lower crime rates. Now if that doesn't actually make a damn bit of sense and sounds completely idiotic yet they expect us to just accept it without pointing out how ludicrous it is, then the whole thing looks absurd. If it was trying to present itself as silly then I wouldn't mind but it clearly wasn't.
