Almost every single firearms platform ever designed, was for military use. Full Stop.

The fact that many firearms are now almost exclusively used for hunting or recreation detracts nothing from its original intent and purpose.

What was yesterday's military style firearm is simply today's hunting/sports/defensive firearm.

As for your contention that civilians must needs be vetted by some military form, might I remind you that today, some 40,000,000+ lawful firearm owners did not commit a violent criminal act?
