 Yes, the education does matter a lot of course. I was taught to use firearms (semi-automatic .22 LR pistols) since 10 year old and I do respect firearms, but... I have no one. The only guns I have are sport ones (sport versions of PM pistol and AK-103 assault rifle). So even I who was trained to use guns since a childhood, don't need to have a gun at home. I feel absolutely secure w/o it. When we are talking about others who know guns only from movies and computer games, so 99% of them should not be allowed to buy firearms. Spend at least a couple of years on training and prove your responsibility and after that you may be allowed to buy it.

 Do you mean a bumpstock? No, this doesn't make a riffle full automatic. Try to use it say for a weekly war in the city. The army weapon must be reliable, easy and troubleproof. It can't just fail in your hands. When you pull the trigger, it should shot in 100% cases even if it was dropped to asphalt from 3 meters and worked in a cement dust or mud.
Course you can do a technical modification, but in this case you may face a jail time in both the USA and Russia, because it's considered as a crime.
P.S. In case of some apocalypses (say the aliens will attack the Earth) or China will invade the country, I won't need a shotgun at home. There is a police station right near my home and they have a few 
AKSU assault riffles. So I'll just go there and take what I need. I won't be interested in a hand gun or a semi-automatic shit, because they both will be useless in case of an urban war.
