I made this reply here, and I liked it so I thought I would re-post it here.

• All civilian ownership of handguns is a major felony. No new handguns can be bought by any citizen. Citizens that already own them have to register them with the government. Existing handguns cannot be sold, given, traded, inherited, or otherwise transferred to anybody except the government.
  
  
• Concealed or open carry of handguns is a felony.
  
  
• All civilian ownership of semi-automatic and repeating long guns is a major felony. No new semi-automatic or repeating long guns can be bought by any citizen. Citizens that already own them have to register them with the government. Existing semi-automatic and repeating cannot be sold, given, traded, inherited, or otherwise transferred to anybody except the government.
  
  
• No more transfers of Title III fully-automatic weapons or destructive devices will be issued. Citizens that already own them have to register them with the government. Existing fully-automatic weapons and destructive devices cannot be sold, given, traded, inherited, or otherwise transferred to anybody except the government.
  
  
• All remaining firearms (single-and double-barreled rifles and shotguns) are registered with the federal and state governments.
  
  
• All new firearms must have a microprinting system that etches the gun's serial number on every fired cartridge.
  
  
• They are required to be stored in an unloaded and disassembled state in a locked safe. Ammunition is stored in a separate locked safe.
  
  
• Periodic surprise inspections of firearms and ammunition are made by the police. This must happen at least once a year. Ownership of a firearm or ammunition means you are required to allow the inspections. Failure to allow inspections results in immediate arrest and confiscation of all firearms.
  
  
• Anybody wishing to buy or inherit a firearm must go through a background check of criminal and mental-health records. If those are passed, the person must be screened for mental-health issues. There is no obligation to process these checks in a timely manner. The prospective gun owner will pay a hefty fee for those checks.
  
  
• A person must also have a firearm owner ID card to buy or inherit a firearm. The ID card is issued only after the above criminal and mental screenings are complete. The ID card has all of the calibers and serial numbers of the guns the owner possesses and must be used to purchase ammunition. Only ammunition for the calibers listed on the card will be allowed to be bought.
  
  
• A person must have their firearm ownership ID card on them at all times when carrying or transporting firearms. They are only allowed to transport or poses their own firearms, as listed on the ID card.
  
  
• Every rifle sold, new or used, must be test-fired and the bullet given to the police forensics lab. During the periodic surprise inspections, the police will also test-fire the gun and take a new fired bullet to the forensics lab. The police will have a portable bullet-capture unit in a vehicle and will publicly perform such a test.
  
  
• A person may only buy one firearm a year, for a maximum of 5 owned.
  
  
• All person-to-person sales of firearms are prohibited. Firearms can only be sold to and bought from federally licensed dealers.
  
  
• All ammunition sales will be recorded forever in a government database. All of the ammunition in the box will have a unique serial number, which is also registered. Posession of unregistered ammunition, even if it is of the proper caliber, is a felony. No secondary transfer of ammunition is allowed.
  
  
• Reloading components are no longer allowed to be sold.
  
  
• There will be a $1-a-round sin tax on all ammunition sold.
  
  
• All firearms must carry $500,000 dollars worth of personal-injury insurance and $10,000 of property-damage insurance.
