5. The problem is guns are not like other products--they tend to last forever when maintained.

That is why the gun manufacturers have been so damned obsessive about brainwashing gun owners to buy more and more and more when the ones they have will have no defined lifespan.

It would require a combination of carrot and stick. The stick might mean mandatory registration for primary owner and non-transferrable after death. Strict laws for felony punishment of those found with unregistered guns. Ban of new sales of semiautomatic rifles and large-capacity magazines. Required annual recertification training and biannual inspection of storage procedures. Much as the Swiss already do.
