How about this for a suggestion?

* You get to keep 22s and anything smaller in your home, for self defense and varmint control.

* Hunting rifles and shotguns that you own are kept in a central office where you sign them out at appropriate times.

* Semi-automatic guns and other military weapons - not necessarily owned by you - are kept at gun ranges where you check them out the same as one checks out shoes at the bowling alley.
