As for registration of individual fire arms, I don't trust that info being out in the wild.
I could even get behind a tiered ownership tied to accredited, non NRA based training programs. Far too many people with highly lethal weapons out there with a wink and a nod type training. Most of the "training" that occurs in a CCW class is legalese, and what to say in event of a shooting, no skills training, no escalation of force continuum education and a healthy dose of NRA propaganda.
And a huge one for me is REQUIRED proper storage requirements, with aggressive prosecution of owners when a weapon is improperly, and unsafely kept that results in injury or death.
I would prefer this happen as a cultural and societal paradigm shift but am not completely against state regulations and laws that address this.
