Sorry to hear about your situation.

I'm a bit surprised that your parents, being Vietnamese, would object to you having a gun. All the Vietnamese people I know well in America own guns.

If they seem upset, I might counter by also being upset that they searched your apartment. You aren't doing anything illegal.

Explain your training. Explain the safety measures you take. Explain that having that kind of responsibility is making you a more mature and level-headed adult. Explain that the dangers shown on the 10 PM news every night are real and you don't want them to lose their son (you) to it.
