What exactly is the importance of an assault riflle for personal use?
The same reason the military uses. They are effective.

but so are rocket launchers.. where do you draw the line?
There should be no government arbitrary line. If they had their way we'd all be slaves with nothing to our name but a serial number.
I also actually wanted to know what the reason is you want them? Hunting/defense or something else?
For self defense.
If you want to stop needless deaths, disarm the government(s) and their armed thugs. They kill and maim far more than law abiding citizens do.
BTW, "accidental deaths" occur all the time with cars too. A lot more often than with guns, I might had.

But cars aren't meant to kill... In fact they are getting safer and safer each year.. Volvo just made a car with a pedestrian airbag which is created to reduce the harm. But in one way you are right. The public can't seem to handle the responsibility of driving a car as well; Wreckless/drunk driving happens all the time. Thats why I am happy Google is pushing forward with their self driving car.
