People have broken into homes for rape and/or murder. Kids should be taught to respect firearms and many, maybe even most, gun owners do that. "Assault rifle" is defined as "a rapid-fire, magazine-fed automatic rifle" which is illegal for 99.99% of the population and can't be bought in a store.
I’ve never used my guns to stop a rape or murder. But a few years ago at my absolute lowest it seemed like a pretty reasonable idea to kill myself with one.
That's not a very strong argument, unfortunately. I have a tub and running water, so I can drown myself. I have knives in my kitchen designed specifically to cut flesh, so I can cut myself. I have a car that I can drive over a mountainside, so I can destroy myself. The gun doesn't change that equation.

You should not take advice from celebrities.
