I still don't see why these guns need to be easily available to everyone when only a fraction will buy them for use as a tool, such as you describe.

Actually I would say an overwhelming majority of people that buy in the AR-15 legally buy it for target shooting or hunting. Which would be the same reason they buy most other firearms.
Its not a very practical self-defense weapon. At close range the shotgun is much more effective, and the handgun easier to use. There is a reason law enforcement opts for the MP5 or a shotgun in breaching scenarios.
