They had to hunt to survive often and had to fend off Native American attacks as well as those from the various enemies of the English government, then of the US government.

Some people have to get their minds out of the Colonial mindset that the Framers of the US Constitution had. This is no longer their kind of world. Now we have assault weapons that can be modified to fire weapons at a very fast rate of speed. Why would anyone need an assault weapon of this kind in any everyday situation?? Even one that is not fully automatic?
