I can see no valid reason for a civilian to carry or own an assault weapon of any kind. Time for the laws to change and guns to be restricted. Moving in the other direction, students arming themselves, will be utterly disastrous.
First: Define "assault weapon." Funny, huh? Turns out I can assault you with ANY weapon, including my fists, a baseball bat, or sack of dead babies. Go figure! Don't use bullshit pop culture media labels to describe firearms. Daddy's precious family heirloom deer rifle and an AK47 do the same damn thing: They go BANG. Bullets fly out.

Second: Gun control / confiscation would be impossible in the United States. Just handguns alone? Americans legally own fifty-six million according to the gummint.
