A gun should be no different than a car. In order to legally drive a car it has to be registered, you need insurance, it has to pass emission tests, it's headlights and blinkers need to be working, and your windshield can't be all cracked up.
Also, if you mess up a few times behind the wheel they can take away your license.
In order to purchase a gun you should have to pass a federal background check, have a 3-5 day wait (cooling down) period, pass a safety test, and purchase only from a FFL who will register your gun with authorities. And if you want to sell your gun to anyone (even a family member) you should have to transfer the registration via the FFL dealer.
And if you are convicted of a violent crime your registration can be revoked and you have to turn your gun in to the FFL for however long the court decides. Failure to do so should result in an arrest.
