I have always thought that there is a very easy answer to lifting the 1986 ban.
1. keep the registration process the same, hell even the $200 tax
2. when you purchase any NFA item you must sign a contract stating that
if you ever decide to sell/trade it must be through a dealer
3. if that NFA object EVER ends up being involved in a crime, even if it wasn't you, or in the wrong hands you will be subject to the current 10yrs. 100k fine,
hell make it life in prison.(of course there would have to be some additional clauses about theft and other rare happenings).
