If you want to hunt or just plink, you should prove you aren't a liability to your neighbors and you should carry insurance. Another thing, no mil-spec weaponry, no exceptions, period.
Your comment about the average American cracks me up in a good way. Perhaps here is a point that a majority of us can agree on.

The average American has too many tools to master. Matters not whether the tools are for shooting, woodworking, gardening, music making, wireless communication, etc. On average all of us have too many tools to master one or two of them.

I remember watching Bryant Gumbal trying to use a cordless screwdriver when they were getting popular. His grip was weak and he stripped screw heads. Pissed me off! I thought holy cow, that guy should not own tools!

In my mind the bottom line is that tools amplify our efforts. We might do better by deciding where we want to expend our respective efforts than deciding how to budget for more tools that amplify our unprincipled efforts.
