I don't see how having guns would have helped that situation everyone was on the floor within 5 seconds of those guys barging in. There wasn't even enough time for someone to grab a gun and start shooting back.
I believe in an individuals right to own certain types of weapons but as mentioned by others there is no reason for a civilian to have an RPG in their house. A civilian doesn't need a 50 caliber sniper rifle. If the argument is for having weapons is home defense then a handgun, shotgun, or rifle would be plenty. If the argument for having weapons is self defense when out of the house then a handgun would do. Beyond this I can only see 2 reasons lawful citizens would want other weapons 1) it is cool or 2) overthrow the government if the government broke down. (With the second being the logic of very few on the fringe).
