Here are a couple of my ideas.
 
Owning a gun should be like owning a car.
 
Once you turn a certain age (16 if there is a licensed gun owner in the home; otherwise18) you can apply for a “learner’s permit”. This written test should ask basic questions; perhaps even some that look into the mental capacity of the applicant. Other question should try to ascertain the applicant’s motivation for wanting the gun.
Your permit is good for 6 months and during that time the only time you may transport your weapon is when you are going to training and it must be open carried. When an individual is prepared to take the “on hands” portion of the qualification process, they go to a state ran testing facility and test. If they pass they are awarded a license and may now close carry and transport the weapon as they see fit.
 
Each year a licensed gun owner should have to submit a list of firearms they have.

That last part is the sticking point.  Too many folks afraid that will lead to the gov being able to take your guns away.
