I have a pistol in my nightstand that I've only used at the shooting range. Now that I know how to use it, it will literally never leave my nightstand unless someone breaks in to my house, and I'm not exactly excited about using it again.

Then there's my gun nut brother with a safe full of different kinds of shotguns and rifles and all kinds of shit that's "fun" for a gun nut, stuff that you'd never use in a million years to defend yourself or to go hunting with.

The problem isn't the right to bear arms, it's people, restrictions, access, and education. It's too easy for a wackjob to get a weapon used for mass murder that wouldn't have much application elsewhere.
