Such a thing would get a lot of resistance. There is a sizable collection of people that dispite not being criminals, do not want the government tracking their weapons. Mostly on the notion such records will be used for confication purposes (became the prevalent though in the late 1980s and 1990s).
I also seem to remember some sort of computer game or maybe it was a movie were the US was invaded (somehow) and the invaders systematically hunted down everyone that owned a gun via their registered weapons in the BATF's records. Though for some reason I think the invasion was from Mexico (Don't remember clearly, it was a long time ago. Was like a rising of LA RAZA backed by Soviets or something. I think the game was about doing airstrikes from a carrier offshore if you lost our airbase to whatever it was).
