But my question is still: why would a civilian need to own an assault weapon? Normal guns I can understand the reasoning behind, even though I'm not entirely convinced that even that is a good idea. But assault rifles? I mean, come on, you have to draw the line somewhere.
There is no difference between the assault weapons that would be available and other rifles. Without the automatic fire feature (which you can't have without a very difficult to obtain federal permit), they are simply rifles that look cooler. The assault weapons ban is a mostly cosmetic law.
