I tried very hard, but I can't think of any reason why a law abiding citizen would want to own an assault weapon. If your true motive for owning a gun is to protect yourself, why isn't a normal gun good enough? What's next, your own miniature nuclear bomb under the guise of "Second Amendment rights"? Where does it stop?
My deer rifle and 12 gauge shot gun are extremely good at hunting and would probably kill quite a few kids if someone was unstable enough to try. Does my Hunting Guns qualify as "Assault Weapons" and as a law abiding citizen, why can I not own as many as I would like.
Assault Weapon is a very vague term and is purely cosmetic in appearance.
No one needs an assault weapon. An assault weapon's sole purpose is the maximum number of casualties. An assault weapon is what allowed Lanza to riddle those children with as many as 11 bullets in their little bodies. He stopped shooting when the police arrived, but with an assault rifle, he was able to do so much damage in an extremely short period of time. There is no justification for an assault weapon.

First, you have to give us YOUR version of what an assault weapon is before we can answer.
Many weapons are called assault weapons and are not.
