Yes, I understand your point of view, but I wonder if you have read the Machin/Toomey Bill and see how convoluted it really is. The proposed process is way too complicated and has plenty of opportunities for law abiding citizen to inadvertently violate the law.
Also, as you yourself pointed out the bad guys will just ignore it. At the end of the day it just creates more bureaucracy and cost for the law abiding and does nothing to stop the criminal.
