That's because you are correct, one does not require an AR-15 for home or self-defense. As for hunting, much of it is conducted with equivalent or more powerful rifles. People do not have the right to own a AR-15 for either purpose, however. It is simply an option they have due to the individual right stemming from the 2nd Amendment.
No one has a right to own an AR15, it was made quite clear by Justice Scalia.
