And no, having a gun when someone breaks into my house doesn't mean I would shoot the guy. Anyone with half a brain wouldn't go much farther if someone would point a gun at them.

Who says I was using hyperbole? I'm serious. Having an ICBM would definitely scare people off. The cool part is that it would actually be safer than having a gun because I would never even have to use my ICBM. It would be like MAD. Just having it ensures that you don't have to use it! All the gun does is ensure you're going to accidentally kill a family member who got up for a glass of milk or escalate the situation to a firefight when the home invader with a gun shoots you.
You also conveniently switched from assault rifle in your first post to gun in your second post. Which is it?
