Well, my first point aside (that this is financialy impossible - the liability is enormous and no insurer would cover) entertaining this idea as an excercise...
The types of restrictions you are implying only hurt those who are innocent.
Take for example drinking alcohol on the beach. Used to be fine, most were responsible and could handle a beer or two in public without incident. Some partied too hard and eventually people ended up drowning - down comes the ban hammer and no more fun (drinks) on the beach for anyone - yet those who break the law (and many do) still drink on the beach at their pleasure. Drinking is just one example - so many things are banned or illegal nowadays.
Segway back to guns - people who used guns responsibly will no longer be able to afford to do so because of insurance while those who misuse guns (criminals/psychopaths) will still find ways to obtain them and murder people.
But really all the above is just an exercise because this will never happen - that aside I grant you that there is close to a 100% chance you can get the state of Hawaii to fork over several million for a study nonetheless.
