So like in this case, you can decorate your house however you want and it's no one's business ... until your decorations cause harm or have a significant risk of causing harm. So if the government decides that your AR-15s have a significant risk causing harm then it very much is their business, the same was if you wanted to hang sticks of dynamite around your house.
You do realize though that even automatic weapons would just be a joke against the combined military might of the United States armed forces right? I mean, I worry (seriously) about our government becoming a dictatorship, but I don't kid myself in to thinking that some guns would really make a difference if they did decide to go all coup d' etat on us.

No way man! Wolverines!!
But seriously, even small arms can do a lot to disrupt/frustrate a well equipped modern military. See Somolia, Afghanistan, Syrian etc.
