If you can discern some non-registration way to know who, by dint of their owning a given firearm, was responsible to ensure and provide for the lawful and responsible use of any gun found subsequently to have been used unlawfully, I'm willing to exchange, in the accountability model I outlined, that method for registration.
What I want effected is a way to hold accountable the person(s) whose duty it was to ensure a gun to which they are the person recognized as the title holder of a gun unlawfully used be held accountable for said unlawful use, regardless of whether the title holder pulled the trigger. If you have a proposal that can effectively abet and achieve that end, I'm all ears.
1) the person who really needs to be punished is the person who harms another with a firearm
2) the desire to punish a person who once owned the gun is not particularly relevant to me assuming it was not deliberate and registration is far too pernicious to implement in order to engage in punishing a secondary actor
