8. All guns should be required to have registration stickers.

Hell, cars are required to have registration stickers that you must renew every year.

These gun registration stickers would have a bar code that can be scanned by any smartphone. It would provide the registered owner's name, address, results of background check, and a list of other weapons owned. It would also provide the information for making claims against the gun owner's liability insurance, which all gun owners would be required to have in order to own a gun--just like you must have to drive a car.

Any guns found without stickers would be immediately confiscated. Owners would have a certain period of time--60 days or so--to show the gun was registered but the sticker fell off. All unregistered guns would be destroyed.
