It appears as though the government would like to use gun registration as means to actively surveil on citizens. This seems a bit far reaching. They already know your address, social security number, DOB, phone number, any aliases, height,

You are assuming all regulations are reasonable. In the case of safety it is possible some are not reasonable. There is actually a level of safety vs risk we are willing to take for a given activity. ( Think actually getting into a car ). M
