I didn't say that was the primary purpose, I mentioned that in response to whether there was a scenario other than overthrowing the government (paraphrasing).

Just find the protection and overthrow government reasons for owning all these high powered weapons comical.

Whether or not they're used to successfully effect an overthrow, it's beats a slingshot for the potential to take down multiple targets in a short period of time. If that means nothing more than taking as many of the (multiple categories of) bastards when you when you go, it's still an improvement over not having the option.
