May not help since I’m using mine with Dolphin (not as a lightgun) and in x86 but maybe it’ll give you something to think about.
But I had to make a file called 51-gcadapter.rules and place it in /etc/udev/rules.d. The file contains the following
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTRS{idVendor}=="057e", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0337", MODE="0666" SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="057e", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0306", MODE="0666"
The usb device is for the GameCube controller adapter so you could ignore that. But the hidraw device is my dolphinbar which is what I had to do to get it to work with Dolphin.
Once again this was to get my wiimotes to work with Dolphin so may have absolutely nothing to do with a lightgun setup.
