Sooo, pretty much CA gun laws then. I have a bad habit of telling Calicucks to get an M1911, because with the 10-round limit, that makes it one of the few firearms in the state where extended mags are legal. To answer some of your questions:
-A transfer is literally a changing of hands, as was
demonstrated by a Colorado sheriff back in 2013, an exemption for close family pretty much means that you just won't get arrested for taking Little Billy out to plink on a supervised range.
-"Hate crimes", like the term "assault weapon", still lack a solid definition. The simplest way of going about this that still pretends to give a fuck about law and order would be to enable misdemeanor crimes to be elevated to felonies if the prosecution could prove an anti-racial/sexual/religious motive.
-A "smart gun" is still something of a catch-all term for firearms that include electronic safety features (no word yet on electronic targeting like Aliens' take on the term). This ranges from the aforementioned fingerprint scanners to grip safeties that can supposedly distinguish your grip from anyone else's via distribution of pressure. I wouldn't personally have a giant problem with the latter if it could be proven reliable across a large variety of stances and both one- and two-handed grips, but you know the Left: the more tech the better.

-The current direction of "safe" storage is moving towards a literal safe, they might as well issue a minimum time you have to spend trying to retrieve it.
-Note that 3D printing has advanced to the point where printing non-pressure-bearing components of firearms is a viable option these days. Given that in many examples of modern firearms (and especially the AR-15), the part of the weapon that is serialized and controlled is a non-pressure-bearing component, expect some heavy crackdowns in that department as well.
