So what's the objection to registering all guns? Don't tell me -- you're afraid that the big bad gubment is going to confiscate all the guns.
It's an unconstitutional and immoral precondition placed upon the exercise of an inalienable right.
As a practical matter, it will cost a lot of money, increase the size and scope of government power over free individuals, and undermine one of the primary purposes of an armed citizenry, i.e., retaining the means and ability to more effectively resist a tyrannical government. And all this will be done despite the fact that there is no reason to believe that comprehensive firearm registrations will actually prevent crime to an appreciable degree.
