You may be young and strong now, but you will probably get old. Do you want to be helpless too?
No, which is part of the reason, I do own guns, exercising the rights I still do have legally, almost to their limits.
But the right to self defence has never been threatened in Australia, because it has a level of protection under Common Law that the right to bear arms did not. Conflating the two is not helpful because it is just as likely to lead to attacks on the former, as it is to lead to relaxation of the latter. They are separate and should be treated separately in our legal system.
I work to try and fix the second problem - and I’d rather be spending my time and efforts on that, than find myself having to spend time and effort defending the fundamental right of self defence which is not currently under threat, but could be if the far-left decide they should be treated as the same thing.
