   The easiest approach would be to limit firepower by limiting magazine   
   capacity and the type of gun that could be owned.   
      
   Besides that, universal background checks with registration would stop   
   the: "Sorry, officer. My gun was stolen," bit for the most part.   
   Agree that some will be stolen... that will happen.  If your gun is   
   stolen and then you later show up with it, you have made a false   
   police report.   
      
   UBC is probably in your future as is gun registration.  Neither   
   contradict even the most liberal interpretation of 2a.  You'll scream   
   and kick, but it's coming.   
      
   As far as the psych exam, it would just be too expensive; who pays for   
   it?  Just plug the loopholes and keep good records... that'll fix   
   *most* of the problems.  If you want to get them all, you gotta repeal   
   2a and ban guns completely.
