5. Registration *only* with an absolute guarantee of no

future confiscations (eg California and the SKS) or restrictions on sale or transfer. That is as close as I can see anything working.

Guns should be registered, but almost no one is going to do so if there is a non-zero chance of that firearm later being banned and recalled under penalty of law or restrictions put on its sale or transfer.

I don't have a dog in this fight; I have guns, all of them either bolt-action, pump-action, revolvers or flintlocks; minimum 100 year old designs, suitable for sport or self defense. But I can see why someone who might buy something more modern would fight like hell for it later to be made illegal.

Both sides need to give: we are *never* getting rid of semi-automatic rifles shooting high powered rounds with detachable magazines *AND* there are crazy fuckers who should not have guns.
