Can a dependent of someone deemed unqualified to own a gun, own a gun?
I wouldn't say impossible, but definitely difficult. This would be a constant point of contention, but at least people would be talking about it. I think there are some points that people already agree on, such as certain felons should lose their right to own or have a gun. I say start with that, build on it and hash something out over time.
As far as new laws, I'm not really too sure what would work. I like what Fred outlined, the sorta "gun like car registration plan". I'd like to see the loophole closed where people can legally buy a gun and then turn around and re-sell it to someone who can't legally buy one. That and the gun show loophole.
