This cop needs to be Zumboed.

Do you need an AR-15 with 30-round clips to defend your house? From what? Terrorists? If you live in the country, then you can maybe justify it. But in an urban environment, I say no.

Wowzers...talk about having it ass-backwards.

“I however do not understand the need to own an assault rifle for private use”

You don’t need to. You are a public employee hired to keep the peace, show up after a crime has been committed and make out a report. Its not your job to philosophize about why the constitution says the general population has the right to bear arms. Its not your job to ascertain what kind of weapon is appropriate for citizens to own and its not your job to wonder why they want to open carry. Just be glad you have a job and that these good folks would be the ones backing you up if you got into a situation you could not handle.
