I'm also glad we aren't gun crazy like America.

I'm not interested in the number of firearm related homicides. What I am interested in is a law-abiding citizen who wishes to own a gun to protect him/herself but can not because of some ridiculous law.
Guns level the playing field. Tell me, what happens if a 6'5" 250 lb man decides he wants to rape a 5'1" 100 lb woman in Australia? He can do it without a weapon. Here in the US, she can pull a gun and kill the attacker.
It's a matter of personal preference. If you don't want a gun, don't buy one (not that YOU could). Personally, I will always own at least one. I'm glad I live someplace where I still have that option.
