Besides, given that I would get amnesty from being prosecuted if I don't register my long guns, why would I even bother in the first place?

Registration costs 15M of a budget of 83M and it is argued that eliminating the long gun registry would not drop that amount by that much.
Here is a good source for numbers and some of the reasons why it is necessary for some.

And as an aside, about 6 years ago a murderer was instantly arrested because of a gun we sold was used to shoot the husband of a woman It was purchased by her boy toy at our store. They matched the caliber with what this dumbass had registered and almost instantly had him arrested.
