Draw a line in the sand for weapon varieties. For me, that’s semi auto. Allow shotguns, bolt action rifles, etc for practical use and self defense. But any line will be hotly debated.

Ban sales of new ones. Give X years for voluntary surrender of existing ones.

After voluntary window expires, send authorities after registered ones, or just send fines for a while.

Any crime after mandatory kicks in gets multiplied if an illegal gun was in proximity.

Then, time.

Happy? It’s pretty simple to get started. Then iterate when actual problems manifest.

This part doesn’t work with your “solution.” Do you expect the police to enter people’s homes and take their guns?

Iterative. Fines, court dates, warrants when it comes down to it. Sentencing enhancements for crimes.

I wouldn’t send authorities into homes, no.

Fines, court dates and warrants do not take firearms out of the hands of people that would rather die than give them up. You’d eventually need SWAT tasks force level initiatives to go and kill resistors eventually; I find that highly unethical.
