Can someone explain to me why an assault rifle, such as the AR-15, should be available to civilians?

Why should it be prohibitied? There is no burden on anyone to explain why things should be permitted, because that is the default position; the burden of proof is on those who want to invasively prohibit other people from freely engaging in voluntary transactions.
