How come hunting guns are allowed in homes when assault rifles are not?

It depends on what you mean. Most people use the term assault rifle incorrectly. If you mean an AR-15, that is not an assault rifle. That is a semi-automatic magazine fed rifle, or, in current terms, a modern sporting rifle. AR-15 rifles are legal in every state in the U.S. as far as I know. Real assault rifles are legal in most but not all states, under certain restrictions.

I was sexually assualted when you was 7.But the person who done it had been drinking Does that still count as sexual assualt?

YES. Rape and sexual assault are still rape and sexual assault, regardless of who was drinking and how much they were drinking. No means no. Just because your attacker was drinking does not mean they have the right to sexually assault you. Contact a trusted relative, police, or your doctor immediately and tell them when and where the attack occured, and the identity of your attacker.
