I believe that guns should be allowed but only if it were regulated similar to Australia's laws or near it. I think there's a massacre in the past that changed the position of the Australian government as far as I know (I might not be right on this since I last researched that when LV shootings happened last year). The gun laws in Australia are much stricter as a result so that no-one can wield one without giving a reason in a honest way why you want one before someone/some government approves and be required to be trained and have a series of tests before you actually get an actual licence.

But this isn't like America, if you have to make the US government take it seriously, it would require more than just 70 people to die (i.e. looking at Las Vegas), it needs to be higher and coordinated by a group or something in some sort of massacre rather than using a bomb like most Islamic terrorists do. You also have to get a population significant enough to pressure the government to make radical changes and politicians who support for heavy regulation in guns. That's what I think would push the change but its more likely if it were a Democrat government and president controlled but i doubt that they would care still
