What if the crooks used registered weapons...

Crooks aren't stupid enough to use registered weapons. They'll go through the black market where they can't be traced.
...well, the organized ones at least

But if they discover an unregistered weapon in someone's possession, it's a good indication that the person is likely up to no good and it gives the police grounds to investigate the person. Not to mention, not all crimes are done by people who are career criminals.
Plus, you can bet that some crimes (mainly crimes of passion) will still sometimes be done with a gun that is registered. The U.S. has gun registry and I imagine that often it can help in investigations.
I have yet to meet a cop who doesn't like the idea of gun registry. [/b][/quote]
Don't know many police officers I take it, every officer I have ever talked to has said that while gun control is a great idea in theory in practice it is completely useless. I don't know who you talked to but I get to take courses with different police officers, and I regularly go to seminars that have officers in attendence, and whenever I ask I get the same response.
