What's the difference?

I often hear that only law enforcement or the military should have certain guns or magazine capacities.

Why?

There's nothing magical about a badge that would enable it to turn an ordinary human into a super-being incapable of doing wrong with a gun.

"Well, police/military actually need these weapons, and civilians don't."

Really?

Apparently, being against the second amendment imparts the ability to see into the future and decide what others need or don't need.

Now, it's true, I will never serve a search warrant, or fight on a battlefield, but that doesn't mean I will never need to defend myself.

I don't know what I may need, but I see no reason not to equip myself with the best tools for the job.
