Your idea of reducing magazine capacity - I like it. It got me thinking - perhaps the regulations are against the wrong thing: the gun. Maybe it is the ammunition that should be more regulated. An unloaded gun works pretty much like a club-type weapon.
With RFID chips getting smaller and smaller - why not put them in the ammunition itself? Regulate ammunition more like other explosives.
