I don't have a problem with any of these, however I doubt they would provide even a decent speed bump for criminals and crazies.
"Reasonable" gun control is just a half measure.
The problem with half measures is that they won't work.
The criminals and the crazies will find ways to work around those.
In order to really keep guns out of the hands of criminals and crazies you would need extremely draconian measures that would also make it a pain in the ass for ordinary law abiding citizens to own guns.
