My plan hinged upon requiring individuals to keep the information of to whom they sell the firearms and places responsibility on those individuals. So a firearm is found at the scene of a crime. Law enforcement can get information from the manufacturer on the FFL where it was originally sold. Each person that firearm is passed to should have information on who that firearm was sold to. If not, then they receive a fine. If it was stolen and not reported, fined. Responsibility for that firearm lies with the owner, so there is incentive to keep the records. No registry, so central storage of information, no access for LE without a warrant.
