It really doesn't have anything to do with registering the guns, per se. In fact, I have no problems with people knowing that I own firearms.
My objection is based primarily on the sham idea that "It makes us safe". Further, even when it was clear that this is, was, will always be a bad idea, it was rammed done our throats and done anyways.
The other reasons that I vehemently oppose the registry:
1. Criminals, the ones most likely to use firearms illegally, do not register them.
2. The cost of the program (well over a billion) could have put a lot of additional prevention/enforcement assets in place.
3. We've yet to see a crime solved/prevented by the registry.
In my opinion, the gun registry has always been "Smoke and mirrors" and little more than the government saying "Hey, we can ###### with you whenever we want."
