An honest answer: No I would not. I've never felt the need nor had the inclination to own a gun. I think that Australian society is no less violent than the US or any other western society. Violence is in every society in just about the same proportions, except where rule of law has broken down completely.
The right that was taken away had a positive impact on these types of incident, which is exactly what they were designed to do. Despite the NRA's marketing of fear, I think you could do better than hanging onto a "right" just because its fun.
I'm sure its fun to fire an RPG or a bazooka or a 40mm AAA gun too. Does it mean you should maintain a right to do so?
Anyway I keep coming back to the ecomonics. You guys will keep your "fun" guns and keep having massacres. All the best from those that gave them up and don't have massacres.
