What legitmate reason would a citizen have for owning a fully automatic military assault rifle in the home?
For when the jack-booted thugs come to confiscate guns. It is nice to be able to lay down some suppresing fire.
In that case I think you should campaign to stop the government trampling on your rights to own heavy artillery.

Yup I'm talking 105mm howitzer here, or maybe a 75mm pack howitzer for the more modest home.

I like the way you think. Personally I would rather have some M1A1 Abrams.

I know where to get you a T-72. Will that work? Comes complete with 125 mm cannon.

I hate it when I come late to these things. Where to start, where to start?

In case you didn't know it, America's Revolution started when the Governor of Massachussetts sent soldiers to confiscate the contents of a privately owned armory. It was full of cannons and such. That's why the shooting started in the first place. Also, most of the Revolutionary War (and the War of 1812 for that matter), at least the "at sea" part, was fought by privateers - citizens with their own armed ships, granted 'Letters of Marque' by the government, because they had most of the guns. The Second Amendment exists because the citizens didn't want to trust the government with the guns, not the other way around.
