Because guns are inherently dangerous, and who own them should be kept track of just to make sure they can be identified for any crimes they might commit?
Licensing and tracking dangerous objects only makes sense.

"Inherently dangerous"?
Guns
Knives (Used in many murders and crimes)
Baseball Bats
Hammers (My state police detective father says this is the most common murder weapon he encounters)
Screw Drivers
Sling Shots
Bows
Crossbows
Rat Poison
Swords
Axes
Hatchets
Blow Darts
Ninja Weapons (I didn't want to list them all)
Dogs
Golf Clubs
And so on and so forth.
Anything can be dangerious int he wrong hands. The problem is that those wrong hands don't follow laws. I follow laws and am no threat with my guns. Registering guns is the first step to taking them away. They need to know who has them to force us to give them up. But like I said only law abiding people would register and the criminals and crazies would keep doing what their doing.
No law can stop criminals from commiting crimes.

And yet many of the more egregious gun crimes (like mass shootings) are done with firearms that were legally obtained. More knowledge for law enforcement couldn't hurt.
And it only speaks to paranoia that folks invoke the slippery slope in regards to gun regulations. The fact that they're armed and self-demonstrably paranoid makes me rather frightened.

You have no reason to be frightened by me. I've never hurt or threatened anyone just like 99.9% of legal gun owners. Your irrational fear of law abiding gun owners speaks more about your own paranoia than those you claim are paranoid.
