You are really caught up in these semantics, but you still can't provide a good, practical application for assault rifles, nor the AR-15, which is a weapon you were the first to mention in this discussion, except for those that I already mentioned, all of which exclude civilian usage beside sport, entertainment, and competition. Now, if you will, get out of the weeds, and explain why these weapons are must-haves for home ownership.
Sparty by definition it is not an Assault Rifle. Are you opposed to all centerfire semi auto rifles?
There are many reasons why the AR is a "must have" for home defense. It is much easier to aim than a pistol and has superior terminal ballistics. It is much easier to handle than a shotgun. Many women find the recoil of a shotgun to be excessive. The AR has a very mild recoil. I could go on and on. I could give you expert testimony and provide link after link but if you really are interested you can find this yourself.
A good forum for information on AR style weapons is m4carbine.net.
