Well, making good policy is an extremely different skill than sharpshooting. I think the crux of your point could be sharpened to a question, "In addition to policy-making experience and skills, how much gun firing experience does one need to make relevant and effective gun policy?" An answer to this question probably depends on the specific concerns we wish policy to address. If it has to do with detailed classification of firearms, then significant experience is probably required. Whereas if we only care about reducing overall gun sales, specific firearm experience is probably less relevant or useful. These are just dummy examples, but I hope my point is a bit clearer than mud.
