MY reasons:

1) I am intimately familiar with the M16 series from having carried one in the infantry, and i am supremely confident in my abilities with one.

2) The 5.56mm is actually a more destructive round in soft tissue (especially when restricted to FMJ rounds), and at long ranges it is vastly more accurate.

3) The M4/CAR-15 is a lighter, and much better looking weapon than the AK.

4) The M16 series is the most accessorizable black rifle around.

4) The AK's only real advantage is it's reliability in severe duty scenarios- something that is of very little importance to a civilian or a professional soldier with a ready supply of cleaning materials.

5) the AK just says "bad guy" to me, and has an extremely negative reputation that could be very harmful in any kind of justifiable homocide or jury trial scenario.

6) Normy has an AK.

Those are my reasons, others may differ.
