That's cool.
Kitty, an argument that was presented is people use guns irresponsibly and therefore guns should be banned. Its a silly argument because people use lots of things irresponsibly...including spoons.
The better argument is that there exist both responsible and irresponsible use of guns, and the overall utility of guns is either positive or negative. Looking at this case specifically as evidence that guns should be banned is simply being narrow minded.

AND NO ONE DIED.
Not in that particular one but people died in other school knifing attacks across China.
