The 2 step goal of anti-gun extremists is to
1) Get all guns regisetered
2) Use that registry to collect guns once they get the political power to ban them.
Is the goal to stop criminals.....? No.
How do we know this?
Chicago has been under complete democrat party control since 1931......the democrat party is the party of gun control. In Chicago, they created a gun offender registration list. If you are a criminal using an illegal gun, you get put on that list so that if you are arrested again with an illegal gun......they are supposed to punish you more severely......
The City Hall is controlled by democrats.......they are democrat party hacks.........they control cook county from top to bottom...
What do they actually do? They let you go...over and over and over again....even though it is these repeat offenders who are doing 95% of all gun crime in the city of Chicago...
Every year, Chicago police officers arrest hundreds of people for violating the city’s gun-offender registration ordinance, a law that requires anyone convicted of gun-related violence or illegal gun possession to go to police headquarters yearly and register their home addresses.
But it’s rare that anyone is punished for failing to comply with the law, modeled on similar measures that were credited with helping reduce crime elsewhere.
That’s according to a Chicago Sun-Times analysis that found most of those cases get dismissed in court — and that’s typically done at the request of lawyers representing City Hall.
Take Devaughn Levi. He was arrested three times in early 2020 for failing to register as a gun offender. But each of those misdemeanor cases was dropped at city lawyers’ request, court records show. Levi is now in jail, charged with felony gun-possession.
To get an idea of how the law is enforced, the Sun-Times examined 33 gun-offender registry arrests that were made in January 2020. In one of those cases, a man got fined $500 — violations carry a possible penalty of a $300-to-$500 fine and six months in jail. All of the other cases were dropped at the request of attorneys for the city.
“The gun-offender registry is BS. What a colossal waste of resources,” says Ald. Matt O’Shea (19th), whose Southwest Side ward is the home of many Chicago police officers. “Who are we kidding? Gun offenders at every level aren’t getting prosecuted. In my opinion, it’s a waste of time. It creates a lot of useless paperwork.”

But......but.........they actually have a list of actual gun criminals........a list of criminals who use illegal guns....and they do nothing to these criminals after repeat arrests.
So...tell us again how registering guns is going to reduce gun crime.....
It isn't about reducing gun crime......it is reducing the ability of normal people to own guns....since it is law abiding people who will actually obey a gun ban and confiscation law.....
Chicago proves this point.

Chicago requires convicted gun criminals to register, makes arrests but won’t prosecute violators
Hundreds are arrested every year for violating a 2013 ordinance requiring those convicted of gun crimes to register annually. They’re almost never fined or jailed.
