Microfilm is as advanced as it gets, because the NRA lobbied to get and keep it that way.

The NRA also lobbies to avoid a registry, which would interfere with the other ideas with CCW changes and whatnot. While your ideas make sense, make no mistake, the NRA wants no part of them.
In the NRA's perfect world anyone could wander down to the 7/11 and buy an AR15 without any checks what so ever, they see that as their perfect world, unlimited gun ownership and freedom to carry anywhere, except of course at the NRA's meetings and head office, wouldn't want some wack job with a gun turning up there.
