I don't really see anything wrong with tracking gun ownership, personally. The situation like that shown in Red Dawn is unlikely to ever occur especially now that the Soviet Union is gone, and if the government knows has many people actually own guns they'll also realize that the US Military is a little out gunned, at least where small arms are concerned. Plus getting rid of guns probably won't make a sizable impact on crime. If guns are banned when someone wants to kill another person they will reach for the butcher knife or a baseball bat or just use their nikes. If I remember correctly, more people die from all of those named weapons than guns every year.
