I agree with Glenn that we don't need to have a purity test, i.e. number of guns owned, but we also should cry foul when someone who has a .410 and a Marlin .22 in the closet presumes to be an expert on ARs, AKs, Glocks, etc. Seeing one once does not an expert make.

I toured the Space Shuttle once, and flew in an airplane a few times, a helicopter once. Should they interview me as an aviation expert the next time a plane crashes? Of course not.
