Another option: Treat gun ownership and use like a pilot certificate.
1. Hours of training followed by a written, oral, and practical exam demonstrating your knowledge and capability.
2. Initial certificate is for small caliber weapon. Any increase in caliber requires additional training.
3. Certificate is for one category only: Handgun, rifle, or shotgun. To have more than one category requires additional training.

4. Every two years a review is required to keep your certificate: A discussion of gun rules and regulations and a practical demonstration for each category.
5. Mandatory insurance. (This isn't a pilot certificate thing, but should be for weapons).

Might I add:
-medical certification
-psychological certification, or at least a default to no certification with previous psych issues/ convictions for violence
