&gt; The man was simply trying to state that he had been at the very least exposed to guns. His piece of info about being a marine was very relevant.

Being exposed still isn't relevant because you can be exposed to guns in numerous ways that would still not educate you on their capabilities or the laws regarding them.

&gt;Are you saying he needs to own multiple guns or have an encyclopedic knowledge of how they work to have a valid opinion on the effect of the second amendment in America?

No, but he needs more than just a bit o range time in the military to know what he is talking about. Before you ask me what gives me the right to say this, I was in the military myself, and I am now a gun owner in a high gun control state. My experience trumps his and many others, and my experience has shown me that people in the military have no idea how guns and gun laws work unless they are gun owners themselves, and even that may not be enough.
