Almost nobody says that. That statement is same emotion that justifies a 'need'.

If we need AR-15s, than all must also have bazookas and 155mm howizters. Since those are also 'needed'. At what point does something become excessive? Never discussed because 'need' (an emotion) trumps logical thought.

Everyone (virutally) says many need guns. But not guns that are only for killing people. That AR-15 (that comes under many names) is only for killing people. It is not even acceptable as a hunting rifle. And clearly not for sportsmen - unless your sport is mass murder.

What need is created by bullets that travel for thousands of feet?

Well a hunter in Allentown was hunting with that type of gun. He shot a pregnant woman in her driveway because he bullets traveled thousands of feet. At trial, he so needed that gun as to even refuse to apologize to the woman he shot. He refused even when asked by a reporter. That is the need.
