Right, arm's bared...

Well, no, it won't... however, if the weapons were not reported stolen, yet belonged to someone else, they can be held accountable. "So why did you not report the theft when it occurred?"

This is part of the idea behind training and licensing. Ideally, it ups the cost just enough to keep one from getting a gun and then loan it to their friend "who's had some legal troubles". Now, admittedly, the key restriction (convicted of felonies) is slightly problematic given the way there's been an increase (downward creep in terms of severity required to qualify) in the numbers of crimes considered felonies, but that's an entirely new problem.
Train people. Make them responsible for it in a very legal way. The problem won't go away overnight (it never does). And you will still have people who will get guns that shouldn't have them... but the idea should be to reduce the cross-section of the ways one can get a gun for questionable purposes.
