1) A license to own firearms. It would have multiple levels.
A) Any manually operated long gun. Said license would be no more difficult to obtain than the current ATF instant background check.
B) Handguns. License would require a similar background check, as well as a training course. Details to be hashed out. Would allow legal concealed carry nationwide.
C) Semiautomatic long guns. Background check, separate training course.
D) Full auto. More extensive background check and training course.

2) Note that the above includes universal background checks.

3) Also registration.

In return:

1) All licenses would have explicit guarantees as to reasonable cost and not having unreasonable training requirements. Licenses can be combined, each renewable every 5 years.

2) Repeal of the NFA, with SBRs and full autos treated as above. No background check for suppressors other than requiring license A or higher.

3) All magazine and "assault weapons" restrictions repealed.

And before the shouts of outrage from the other side begin, l would point out that I can already obtain everything with the exception of NFA items in most states with less paperwork under current law than I could under this proposal, and can still (and have) gotten NFA items should I be willing to put up with the red tape.

Any takers?
