Are you wondering about just "assault weapons" or just guns in particular? And if why just "assault weapons", why not ask about the others?
Mainly automatic weapons because I understand people owning a handgun for protection or a shotgun/rifle for hunting/protection. I just wanted to know if there were any other reasons besides collecting them as to why someone would buy an automatic weapon. I never fired an automatic weapon but I imagine it is really awesome.

Those are not easy to acquire legally. They are also very expensive.

You clarified your question by acknowledging that you are referring to semi-auto weapons and not automatic so with that being said I will ask a follow up question.
Going back to my original question, why are you asking specifically about these "assault weapons"?
Are you fine with guns that may fall into your definition but can/are used in hunting?
What about semi-auto shotguns or shotguns in general?
What about semi-auto pistols?

Is your car auto or manual? Does it have the ability to exceed the speed limit?
