78. I don't think 5 years would be all that burdensome.

I'd like to see law enforcement severely restricted in their ability to demand the records. I'm not sure what that would look like, exactly. I'd say they should have to have the actual gun in their possession, or

a high-resolution color photograph of that particular gun being used in a crime, with the serial number clearly visible.

What I don't want to see is some overzealous anti-gun sheriff using this system to harass honest people.
