No problem as long as the gun had been reported as stolen (or lost) in a
timely manner, as prescribed by law. Quite sure that law exists already
in most states.

That is true and I would even promote increasing the penalties for
possessing a stolen gun. In most places it will just be "property" and
one of the charges that gets traded away or simply absorbed in a
concurrent sentence.
You still might have the issue that people don't know their gun is
missing for quite a while. If this is a daily carry gun or something
you have hanging on the wall, it will be apparent right away but most
people are required by law to have their guns locked away.
I have one gun safe that I may not open more than once or twice a year
and it is far out of sight.

I would argue that as a responsible gun owner it is your duty to know
where your guns are at all times.
