I'd never own a gun myself, but I understand that someone can have a valid, civil desire to own one. So I believe that they do not have to be illegal.
Strictly regulated, though? Absolutely. I think more research and regulation needs to be done, so that every gun and every bullet can be traced to a store and buyer. I remember hearing that it's possible to get an idea about whether a particular bullet was fired by a particular gun, but that is was not an exact science, and could be easily altered with some nailfiling. I think this needs to be changed. Technology needs to be implemented to make things as traceable as possible.
