Sad to say that until you get your US citizenship rA, all this is so much pissing into the wind. Only they can change their attitudes and under the influence of Trump plus the NRA that isnt going to happen. It will be interesting to see if Biden dares touch it, but I doubt he will if he wants a second term (if he lasts that long, at his age)

Keeping the guns in the home? I suspect as regards the USA it the best place for them, and they should be kept in a secure environment, not unlike here, but thats a huge culture shift. I will end this by noting that I still respect the right to have guns in the UK in the way its currently regulated despite the following.

At the age of 13, one of my son's friends got the key, went into his Dad's secure gun cabinet with it, took out what I think was a rabbit hunting (he was a keen lamper) 22 rifle and shot himself dead. No-one knows exactly if it was an accident or not. He was a nice kid, a bit flaky perhaps, but. At a stroke a whole family devastated, parents wracked with guilt Im sure, think they split up. Friends just unable to understand it.

Misused, guns can destroy families lives, even when kept in a secure environment. At that moment I doubted my views on freedom to hold licence, but as has been said in this debate before, the whole world cannot change for one person's error
