You don't "NEED" military style weapons. But when a government goes tyrannical that has the weapons that they told us we don't "NEED" as civilians you can bet yourass you will "NEED" them then. Like others have said it's a slippery slope when the government decides what you can and can't have to defend yourself against all enemies foreign and domestic.
The government would just shoot you from a drone, or drop a bomb on your house. No way a citizen can defend themselves from the government, unless the military is in the civilians side
