That said... can anyone tell me why anyone would need to own an assault weapon?

You may want to take look at the 2nd Amendment. One doesn't have to justify a right.

Oh stop playing your silly games.

I am fully aware of what the 2nd Amendment says.

I am not looking to snatch your precious guns away from you.

I just wanted to know why a person needed an assault weapon... that's all.

If you can't answer it... then move on...
