Their fear is that the liberals will use government to put them under their heal by autocratic force, and if they don't have AR-15s to fight against an unjust government with they feel like they'll be fucked. That's their whole reason for owning AR-15s is to make sure their federal government never gets *too* liberal, lest it need be put down by violent overthrow. They want AR-15s as a failsafe against government getting too liberal for their liking.
Unfortunately this is the only fear I see being assuaged by owning an AR-15. I just don't see how it's practical for hunting or personal home security.
