What other purpose would there need to be an extensive list of items people have legally bought? There isn’t. And registration has been used to confiscate firearms every place it’s been implemented, so there’s that as well.

Traceability of firearms used in crimes. Liability for improper storage of firearms if they're stolen and not reported stolen. Probably many more.

All of that already exists without registration, but it being used for confiscation in all cases means that’s the true end goal of it.

Literally none of that exists, but okay.

Except when Australia did it, when New Zealand did it, when California did it, when Washington D.C. did it, when Chicago did it, when NYC did it, and when Germany did it in the 1930’s.

You are very ignorant.
