A system similar to getting a driver's license. Just as in the types of vehicles you drive, a car, motorcycle, truck. You do the same with firearms, hunting, handgun and assault weapon. The NRA can choose the calcification and do the training, once you pass on the type of firearms you qualify for you can purchase that type of firearm and the ammunition. while this is going on there could be a full background check.
Also there has to be training on how to safely to store your firearm. This business of leaving a firearm in your glove compartment in your car parked on the street overnight is a no, no. There has to be some common sense involved. Which means there has to be responsibility of being an owner. Which would mean if you were smart you would get some type of insurance to protect yourself.
I also believe that the industry should be able to come up with a home protective firearm that will stop an intruder that is easy to handle and will not take down you front door and the neighbor's dog. You don't have to kill an intruder; you just have to stop them in their tracks.

I recall a certain movie star slept or still sleeps with a shotgun under her bed. Probably loaded. That would probably stop most would be intruders except for a gang of them. I suppose you might need a AK rifle if you were being attacked by a platoon like in Ukraine. But this is not Ukraine.
And in practicality there is no way in the US to just confiscate AK rifle weapons now out there. But we could slow down the future flow of them to new would be mass killers.
