States should have the right to make the purchaser of guns buy insurance for each gun.
The insurance actuaries will devise a cost structure based on caliber, and how many shots the gun is capable of. You want a hunting rifle, that's one price. You want a semi-automatic that's another. The government could then make it against the law to own any new gun without insurance - and you buy the insurance from the legal gun sellers. (You have to have insurance to drive a car because of its potential to do damage, why not a gun?)
No insurance and your gun can be seized and both you and the seller could face fines or jail.
Of course this will be impossible to enforce if only one or two states comply but it should be the duty of the NRA and the "States Rights"enthusiasts to ram this legislation through as they do their own. With the NRA and the insurance lobby working together, any law can be passed.

The NRA and the insurance companies will not allow this to pass. They would both lose money with all the damage that results from murderers, hunters, and racists. Good bye blog. See you after the election
