Do away with the stupid engravings that have to be done on receivers of SBRs, having to set up trusts, form signed by a LEO and shit like that. If you can pass the background check to own a firearm and submit a designated form, $10 fee and fingerprints one time, you get a federal license to purchase suppressors and receivers for SBRs through a licensed FFL. Normal background checks could apply when you pick it up at the FFL. I'm fine with them being registered if they want to waste the money gathering and keeping up with all the data.

Let the states handle CCW. A national CCW law is likely to be too limiting, IMO. NY would never allow the carry laws we have here in TN and I don't want to be limited to what they would allow. We've got it good here and I don't want it ruined by a prohibitionist state that I would never bother to visit in the first place.
