Guns / knives / bombs etc don't kill other people. People kill other people. Should we outlaw people?

Do you think that you can limit some gun related things that would lessen the damage?
For example the day it happened you mentioned the China attack. The argument there is that it'll happen anyways so don't touch guns.
The difference is in the sheer damage you can do with completely legal gun hardware compared to knives. A bomb also rarely manages to kill so many people as efficiently as an assault rifle can.
I'm not saying you ban guns, but I see only a few valid reasons to have one, and neither requires high capacity clips or a high fire rate for example.
