The reason that I oppose private ownership of ordinance of that caliber is out of concern for the damage that an accidental discharge or mishandled explosives can do.
Consider the time before these were banned to private owners. Was there a rash of grenade explosions? In the few examples that are in private hands, are there ongoing problems?
Do you remember when (in the 20th century) one could order 20mm cannons by mail order, with no government paperwork?
No, the point of allowing these arms is to be sure that the citizens can overwhelmingly defeat any effort by a tyrannical government. RPGs are handy for that.
