Is there a good reason why we need assault weapons in society?

Well this is part of Obama's policy:

I understand that the Constitution guarantees a right to them. What I'm asking is why someone would feel the need to own one. Why have an AK-47 in your home? I just don't see the need for it. I favor home defense weapons but something like an automatic rifle is a bit much for protecting your home.

Ah, ok. Thanks for the clarification. I know in my state Conceal To Carry permits are as elusive as the magical purple elephant and most get denied. Then again, I live in the true blue Northeast. Again, just out of curiosity, is there a real need to have an assault rifle to protect one's home? What's wrong with a sidearm? Perhaps one of the members familiar with firearms here could answer that.

2nd Amendment "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the Right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." Overview of Title 10 Section 311 and Title 32 Section 313 Every able bodied male, between the ages of 17 and 45, to age 64 if he has served in the United States military, as well as every able bodied female between the ages of 17 and 45 who has served in the United States military is a member of the Unorganized Militia of the United States, and as such is subject to recall to Active Duty by POTUS as outlined in Title 10 USC. US v Miller In the absence of any evidence tending to show that possession or use of a 'shotgun having a barrel of less than eighteen inches in length' at this time has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, we cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument. Certainly it is not within judicial notice that this weapon is any part of the ordinary military equipment or that its use could contribute to the common defense. Aymette v. State of Tennessee, 2 Humph., Tenn., 154, 158. Therefore, any weapon that IS part of "the ordinary military equipment or that it's use could contribute to the common defense." IS protected by the Second Amendment, to include what the left likes to call "assault weapons", or as most of us simply call them M-16's, AR-15's, AK-47's, AK-74's, M-60's, M-240's, M-249's, M-203's, M-1 60mm mortars, or any of the other weapons that are on that list that are part of the "ordinary military equipment", or "could contribute to the common defense". IMNSHO, as far as I'm concerned, if you want, and can afford it, you should have unfettered, and unrestricted access to own and operated an M-1A2 Abrams tank, an F-15 fighter, or even a fully armed B-52H Bomber. Let us not forget that when General Gage ordered his troops to march on Lexington and Concord, he ordered his troops to "seize and distroy all Artillery, Ammunition, Provisions, Tents, Small Arms, and all Military Stores whatever." The ordinary citizens of Lexington and Concord had privately owned artillery! It is the duty of every American to own a weapon suitable to military service and to know how to use it. Don't forget that SCOTUS has ruled, repeatedly, that it is not the duty of the Police to protect you, therefore it is your responsibility to protect yourself, your family, your neighbors, your community, your State, and your nation, against foreign invaders, or even your own government should it become despotic, and if you are not properly armed, exactly how do you propose to do that?
