Just for argument's sake, though, it might be useful to examine the question from the opposite side: Is there any GOOD reason for a non-collector who is also a civilian to have a weapon like this. Maybe I'm truly not familiar enough with such weapons to answer that question, but as far as I now know, I can't think of a good reason.
Self-defense.
Militia service, if the militia should ever be called. Incidentally some states still have a militia.
Resisting tyranny, should such ever arise.
And any other lawful purposes.
