It seems to me that the most logical argument for the average civilian being allowed to own assault weapons is not to prevent theft or mugging, it would be to deter any dictatorial government from trying to take control. Imagine if while the police were confiscating guns during Katrina, the majority of those gun owners had assault rifles instead of pistols. They may have thought twice about knocking down doors and trying to illegally take their guns.
This.
Why can't we have tanks? What if the thugs have assault rifles? Furthermore, why can't we have nukes, they may have tanks?
