A relative had to turn his guns over to California during some PTSD treatment. When he completed his treatment and was judged sufficiently safe to have his guns back, the state said no, because he couldn’t prove he owned them legally. Innocent until proven guilty apparently doesn’t apply. After paying $200 per firearm and threatening to lawyer up, he eventually got his weapons back. Yes, I know, don’t live in California. He learned that one too.
This is why I don’t believe in “prohibited persons”.
If you are so mentally ill that you can’t be trusted with a gun (or car) you should not be on the street. If you are a felon who can’t be trusted with a gun (or knife) you should not be on the street.
Don’t let them in. Ask for a warrent. May we come in? NO.1 You don’t mind if we come in do you? Yes I do mind. You can not come in.
No. 2 Don’t register anything you don’t have to. Guns? What guns? I ain’t got no stinking guns.

And along with TigerStripe, this is why you don’t want registration.
