I dont hold any hope of chanhing the narrative as my suggested approach wont cut it politically but I had to try . . .

I agree with your approach I went a little further and even suggested bringing back the old Mountain Safety Instructors - ( 25 years one myself) I reckon that worked - locals vetting locals - yes dont know exactly who would run it but suggested that Police only be involved in policing offences - I am okay with a register provided its sensible - stuck up for bringing back some semi auto centerfires as many destroyed were never military style i.e Browning BAR not likely to happen but had to do it - emphasis on fit and proper person - some military style centerfire allowed for specific target shooting disciplines as we used to have - again not holding any hope but had to do it -
