I wouldn't want trained military personnel with weapons of that (RPG, submachine gun) destructive force, let alone a civilian. How many civilian deaths have there been in Iraq in the past 4 years? How many deaths and injuries due to friendly fire? Think about it.
I simply extend that philosophy to handguns and rifles. I don't trust anyone with a weapon of that power. People make mistakes, and if anyone ever accidentally killed my daughter, I'd lose my reason to be a pacifist. I'd rather live in a world with the goal of peace instead of the world with the goal of safety.
