I don't see an issue with this.
The right to own and carry a gun should be protected and expanded.
The issue with "gun rights" activists is not that. It's their idea that assault rifles should carry the same type of protection.

And why shouldn't they?
Why shouldn't a law abiding citizen be allowed to own the same arms as the police force?

Research "in common use" as it relates to firearms, specifically the case United States v. Miller.
As "assault rifles" are consistently the top selling type of rifle year after year, I'd say they're "in common use."

Why? Statistically all forms of rifles together are used in less murders than shotguns, handguns, and blunt objects each year.
If anything they have the strongest case to be made to allow for the right to own and carry them. The reason being, is they are only viable for home defense and the event of a tyrannical Government turning on its people.
For those wishing to commit a crime with a gun, they choose a handgun a majority of the time due to the fact it's easy to carry, easy to hide, and easy to discard of.
People have no logical reason to fear "assault rifles". It's only because they look dangerous that they associate them with dangerous or criminal acts.
