re: Why do civilians own "assault weapons"?

You need to clarify your use of "automatic" because in gun talk it commonly refers to semiautomatic, which is what most of the "assault weapons" you are thinking of actually are. Fully automatic , meaning more than one round fire per trigger pull, is what you are thinking. Fully automatic weapons are a much much smaller market because of the registration process and the ridiculous pricing compared to semiautomatic weapons.
P.S. many handguns used for self defense are "automatic"

I was thinking more along the lines of AR-15s or AK-47s. Whatever category these guns fall under.
