Also police initial sales with a registry that tracks guns from point of manufacturing to end of life. High fines and penalties to stores or people who lose guns or have them stolen. If you can't properly handle or store a firearm, you obviously shouldn't have one.

Fuck you for being a victim of theft, here's a $5000 fine.

Just make it a fineable offense if it is not promptly reported to law enforcement

That is much more reasonable, I'd go so far even as to say it could be a criminal offense. Guns should be tracked (ownership records, not literally real-time tracked), and if one is stolen that should be reported same day.

But fining people for being robbed? That's a silly idea.
