Let me help:

You need to see into the future:

a notice specifying the identity of any person to whom, and any period of time during which, the firearm will be loaned to the person

You give up any sense of privacy:

The Attorney General shall make the contents of the database accessible to all members of the public...

If you are under 21 you have no rights under this law

...has attained 21 years of age;

Have psychological screening

undergoes a psychological evaluation conducted in accordance with paragraph (2), and the evaluation does not indicate that the individual is psychologically unsuited to possess a firearm;

Live with someone who owns a gun?

the evaluation included a psychological evaluation of other members of the household in which the individual resides

and

the licensed psychologist interviewed any spouse of the individual, any former spouse of the individual, and at least 2 other persons who are a member of the family of, or an associate of, the individual to further determine the state of the mental, emotional, and relational stability of the individual in relation to firearms.

Smoke dope? Medical or otherwise?

No license for you if you are addicted to a controlled substance (within the meaning of the Controlled Substances Act)

Now, lets get into the poll tax equivalent

has successfully completed a training course
(which you have to pay for)
undergoes a psychological evaluation
(which you have to pay for)
the individual will have in effect an insurance policy
(which you have to pay for)

back to the accessibility to the information:
What you own
Where you store
All entered into a database, accessible by anyone.

Now, of course seeing the Attorney General determines
The people who are authorized to train
The people who are authorized to do the psych eval
there is no chance, whatsoever, under any possible circumstance that there could be so few people certified to perform either the authorization or evaluation that it becomes de facto impossible to obtain either within a reasonable time frame : :

I hope no one comes for any of the civil rights you hold dear with the same level of obstruction.
