The best way to do this would be, I believe,
1) Require licenses at age 18 or 21 depending on type that
a) require theoretical training on gun safety & first aid & gun laws
b) require medical exam (mental and physical)
c) require a practical test (handling & shooting)
d) IF all of the above passed, it’s a must issue license.

2) Insurance requirement ala automobiles but there has to be affordable options for all
3) Criminal integrity - if convicted of any felony, a license is revoked until voting rights are restored.
4) Personal Responsibility - if convicted of any misdemeanor of violence, criminal shooting (illegal hunting for example), issuance of restraint order, etc. license is revoked. 3 months first offence, 6 months second offense, 12 months third, permanent after that.
5) Police are required to take firearms into protective custody within 4 hours of revocation of license. They are to be returned if/when the license is restored.

I’d prefer there to be levels of license as well, perhaps the difficulty of the exams would determine them? A - regular hunting firearms B - handguns C - “assault” firearms D - NFA firearms E - Collector?

What do you do in the case that the parents legally acquired the weapons but their child is barred from using them ? Too many loopholes. Certain weapons and magazines should be barred, period.
