No...you have it backwards. No one has made a strong case for assault-style weapons.

It has been shown via statistics and posted that banning assault weapons leads to increased amounts/rates of violent crimes. It has been shown to be one of the most protected rights in the bill of rights, and it can be easily determined that having an assault-style weapon is very useful for home defense.
Your arguments on the other hand have been scare tactics, ad hominem attacks, skewed/manipulated statistics, anecdotal evidence, and faulty logic. Every bit of evidence/argument you have made was either debunked with a little additional reading or proven to be a fallacy. It isn't your fault though. Personally, I blame the mainstream news sources that feed the populace the idea that these styles of arguments are actually good. I wouldn't be surprised if congress turned into something out of a jersey shore episode.
