Some people basically don't want the governement to know how many guns they have. Mostly in fear that they will be taken away by some random feel good law. Or in some cases, when a gun is used in self defense, the police take the gun. Some have suggested they will take all the guns as evidence and potentally not return any of them. Which could be a lose of several hundred to thousands of dollars depending on the number of rifles and handguns a person may own. Especially collecters of older weapons. And this is even if the gun did not harm anyone. It could have been discharged to get the attention of someone to invading one's property, or even just branished to get them to leave and never fired at all. Yet the weapon is still taken by the police and could potentially never be returned.
This seemed to be the common thoughts in the 1990s around the time of the Brady Bill.
