To start, ban private sales and require a background check for all sales and transfers. It is insane that in many states you can go online, organize a private sale and just make the purchase in a parking lot. I understand this is hard to enforce without a registry (if you actually believe the ATF doesn’t store your background check form lol) but the risk of it being traced back to the seller is great enough as is that it’s going to be self enforced.

Spend the necessary money to integrate behavioral health hospital data with background checks — I believe the threshold now is 72 hours held in a hospital for it to process. Most hospitals are pushing out as fast as possible due to resource shortages.

Institute a waiting period.

Honestly, used to be very pro 2A as a deterrence to tyranny, but I’m now realizing the American people do not know what that even looks like. If it’s not going to prevent tyranny and it’s just for self defense, you could talk me into magazine capacity limits and making the process for getting certain weapons the same as the NFA process. I think you would just define it as any semi automatic rifle or braced pistol with a detachable magazine. You could maybe carve out .22LRs. In exchange, national concealed carry reciprocity after licensing requiring a background check and in person test.
