Why do you assume everyone owns weapons for protection or hunting? Personally I do not think an "assault" rifle is good for either of those things.
The reason it is a right to bear arms is to protect the people against a tyrannical government. Sure, nobody wants to think that will ever happen, but it very well could happen. It will be a lot more difficult to become that way with millions of civilians armed with weapons that almost rival the ones the military is issued. If we all only had 1 handgun and 10 round mags without the ability to quickly change them, then the government/military would have a much much more significant advantage.
As it stands, the right to bear arms is a protection for all of us. The reason I bear arms is to protect your rights as well as mine. You are welcome.
Plus, they are a hell of a lot of fun to shoot
