Those things you suggested would indeed help but as you acknowledged, they won’t happen, at least not in my life time, I’m already 68 years old.
On the other hand, as an Illinois citizen, I’ve said since I’ve been here, (many times too), that Illinois would never have a concealed carry law, in my life time.

I have the sense that America is poised on a cusp. We could go pure Soviet communist or we could perhaps go back to the relationship citizens had with the government in 1920. Perhaps we’ll just mildly step back from the precipice; defeat Obamacare and maybe get rid of one or two alphabet regulators. (I’d vote to delete the EPA.)
The problem is the government is too powerful. Any powerful organization becomes corrupted as people work their way into it and subvert its purpose to push their agenda. (Like global warming (redistribution) or one world government (more redistribution.) The Annenberg project is a perfect example. Walter Annenberg was a rich conservative and his foundation was to pursue those goals. Instead it financed Obama and his buddy Karl Ayers in their efforts to turn schools into communist training centers.
