Ownership comes with requirements for safe and proper storage to which only you have access.
Weapon and ammunition that aren’t on a person has to be stored separately.
The anovebtwo rules aren’t enforced/checked. But it’s still a legal requirement, so if someone uses your gun or ammunition for a crime, you will be considered an accomplice. Either intentionally or due to gross negligence.
…it’s not a fix, but having responsible gun owners is a start.
I would add requirement that for #1 it should be locked (could be biometric lock) but I would remove #2. Having requirement for two separate locked storages reduces probability of people following it at all, and adds significant time if you need to get loaded gun quickly for self defense.
If someone uses and angle grinder in your living room for half an hour without interference, then you were probably far away and will have no problem proving so. Report it so that the gun is registered as stolen. If the same gun shows up in a separate crime, you better hope it wasn’t your neighbor or some other relatively close relation.
Most safes are not that good. If you study lock picking you can break most combination locks quickly (looking at fingerprints will often narrow down the possible numbers to try to 30 seconds to break in).

SCOTUS would absolutely strike down a federal requirement for separate storage.
On point 3, what if someone stole it from say your safe?

You’ve only got to watch some Lock Picking Lawyer videos to see how so many gun safes can be opened in literal seconds with ease.
Consumers have no way of knowing if their safe is actually safe.
Then don’t get a gun, what can I say?
