not more than any other congregation of people really. Adults were present of course, just not that many. Why would they need to carry guns? To defend themselves from teenagers or other adult colleagues that share the same political view?
Even more, the island is privately owned, so you wouldn't even allowed to set foot on it without invitation. Which is exactly the reason why Breivik had to disguise himself as a policeman.
He then could've just called all adults together and mow them down with his assault rifle. (and he did kill the security officer first).

"Why would they need to carry guns?" To prevent one guy from killing 69 people. Such a thing would not happen in the U.S in any place where guns are legal and freely available to both individuals and the police. The largest mass-shooting in the U.S was Virginia Tech (likely a gun-free zone) and 32 people died there.

maybe you should read the bolded parts again.
Would you let strangers (or people you barely know) with guns on your property ?

I wouldn't let strangers (or people I barely know) on my property for an extended time period. If I trust them, sure I would be fine with they having a gun. I have many friends who own guns and carry them who visit me frequently. If the weapon is concealed, I likely won't know about it, and therefore can't refuse that they have it unless there is some identifiable notice on my property. If I were holding a political event whose attendees are children (many from prestigious families who can sue me), I think I would have people with guns around (even if the common guests aren't allowed to have them.)
