Why do police need assault rifles while we only have semi auto AR15? (enemies, illegal aliens)

Marksmanship is a perishable skill that must be practiced regularly or your skill will seriously diminish.
I'm a sponsored and ranked USPSA and IDPA competition shooter and I shoot about 15000 rounds per year. Thats common for top pistol shooters. If I didn't shoot that much, I wouldn't be nearly as competitive as I am.
Truth. At the peak of my competition time, I was going through , at least 3_5 hundred rounds , 4days a week, just in practice. My son and I are Steel, pin, and ICORE shooters, with a bit of bullseye and IPSC/USPSA thrown in here and there. I don't practice that much any more, and haven't seriously competed in a coupleyears now, but I still do practice enough to stay fresh.
Lol, nowI get regularly edged by people I trained back in the day, my son among them,. That makes me smile. Still, I have full confidence in my ability to stand and deliver, should the need arise. My 1911 is still a.trusted friend, and fills my hand quite properly. I still carry it as my primary, the same gun I've used in competition for over 20 years,. It's not overly modified, though the requisite ergos and accuracy aids have been done. Trigger, adjustable sights, and such.
As you say, if you're going to own a firearm for self defense, it's prerequisite that you be practiced and proficient with it. Otherwise, it's nothing more than a prop.
Because your ar15 is easily converted to full auto with a kit sold at most gun shows. Perfectly legal to do that btw.

NOPE! Never seen it, never heard of it, gunsmiths and specially trained military smiths can do it but they probably wouldnt.
Actually, filing off the lobe in the return mechanism in the receiver will convert any virtually any semi to fully automatic...though don't allow the thug government to catch you doing so...maybe the lobe wore off from a lot of target practice
Aren't we facing the same criminals? They have backups we have zip.
While it's hard to obtain, an ordinary citizen can actually obtain an assault rifle.

What's the reason they need machine guns?
The police, as far as I'm aware, don't have machine guns. An assault rifle is not a machine gun.

They seem to randomly shoot at innocent bystanders all the time. What is the reason they need more than 5 rounds? Since they have backups, they definitely don't need more than 5.
With assault rifles? I honestly can't remember that last time a cop fired at a civilian for basically no reason with an assault rifle. Not to say it doesn't happen, but how often does it really happen?
And yes, civilian limitations on ammunition are largely useless.

Do you know how much a real assault rifle cost and the legal hoop people must jump through?
Only rich and white men can afford assault rifles while poor minorities must fight with their bare hands. Thanks to the liberals.
