3. Gun-owners would have to prove once a year that they still own the guns registered on their names. Failure to produce all the guns on demand is a crime and you get charged with arms-trafficking.
How do you 'traffic' arms by not responding to a request/demand to produce them ?
How would a law read that non-production of an item is construed as illegal trafficking ?
Can't see it happening, this might be found plausable in dictatorships, not democracies.
