I think there should be a national registry AND a national firearms license.

Right now in the US a 16 year old kid can get a driver's permit and get behind the wheel of a
dangerous vehicle.

A potential gun owner should be required to attend training before being awarded a license.
Then each time he/she buys a gun, it's entered into the database.

Not only is the person tracked, but trained. This would reduce the accidental deaths by guns and
help track firearms.
