If there are proper controls in place like magazine size restrictions, mandatory safety courses, background checks.....etc, etc....why does one need a reason to own a AR-15 other than 'they are fun to shoot?' 
  
Do you even own a firearm?

Recent mass shootings aside, out of the 12,000 or so firearm related deaths in America last year, about 300 were done with an AR-15....less than deaths by hammers and other blunt objects.
 
Americans need AR-15's more than they need handguns. You cannot fight enemies foreign or domestic with a handgun that has such short range.
