HOWEVER, you can do that with handguns quite easily enough, i really just can't see any logical application for owning an assault rifle that doesn't involve breaking the law.
yes, i can appreciate the need for high power weaponry in areas like alaska where the local fauna is less than agreeable, but i'm sure letting people legally own high powered killing machines in areas where the only dangerous thing is a dust mite defies logic...
but, maybe thats just me not seeing the obvious benefits to owning a weapon that sprays death
now, i'm going to shut up before i get involved in a big argument about how owning a gun is fundemantally an insane idea, because that horse has been flogged to much already.

An assault rifle would be handy if something like the L.A. riots happened here, or the U.S. is invaded by a foreign power, or you're in another situation that requires shooting people. This stuff happens, not often here but shit sometimes finds its way to the fan.
Also, the government gets to keep in mind that we're not a bunch of pussies they can push around.
