I can actually give several valid reasons for AR ownership.
As Jeff stated there are at least 2 competitive forums where ARs are prime tools... High Power rifle and Three gun.
The platform and military caliber are particularly well suited to pest and vermin control like controlling groundhog populations or for coyote and feral pig harvest.
The guns are both lightweight and have minimal recoil making the platform an excellent starter rifle for new and/or small framed shooters.
Ammunition is quite common and priced well for a rifle cartridge making regular practice affordable.
Owning an AR allows us the constitutionally guaranteed right to face the government armed with essentially the same weaponry the army has should that become necessary.
I could go on but the point really is these things are good for more than just rapid fire against innocent civilians by disturbed idiots.
