I would encourage everyone to have security that can't be kicked open like I did on a deceased family members on my last trip home. Our current standards for A cat were set to keep guns from kids and have worked well for this. Your never going to stop a crim who knows it's there and wants to get in- but stopping a junky just looking for stuff to swap for there next fix is doable most of the time.
But actually changing the law? I don't see that helping much if at all for all the reasons others have already mentioned.
Changing rules around semi autos seems pointless, especially if you exclude shotguns and rimfire.
Making things more restrictive for legal gun owners just to be seen to be coming to the party on cracking down on crime is silly unless it will actually make a real difference-otherwise in a few years we will have to make another pointless gesture as the last one wasn't working.
I hate to say it as the op doesn't want to go there, but the area that seems to need work is sentencing for arms crime-at the moment there doesn't seem to be much reason for a crim to advoid guns
