Second, it allows for removing registered firearms (as California does) from persons who become disqualified after purchase.
Now, think about how one may become "Disqualified".. It COULD be by comiting a felony or other violent misdemeanor, but in my experience, at least in the overwhelming majority of the country where permits are issued, the criminals permit is revoked and they are ordered to turn in their firearms. If the state has PC they can get a search warrant.
But there is ANOTHER way to become "Disqualified". Passing of anti-gun legislation. Registration gives gov't the ability to seize "Pre-Ban" weapons. Whatever you think of gun control, you can't tell me in good conscience that you support government confiscating legally owned property, and you CERTAINLY can't tell me "that will never happen". Diane Feinstein publically bemoaned the fact that she didn't have the votes to pass a law like that.
Most of us here really despise the Terror Watch List, and I ESPECIALLY hate the Sex Offender Registry ... they are stupid and ineffective. Rather we keep lists of people that own a legal product.

So you agree that registration is irrelevant when addressing criminals owning guns?
