What, precisely, is its purpose?

The purpose of gun registration is to allow politicians to pretend
that they are doing something useful and to allow many people to
get a false sense of security that something is being done to
protect them. Unfortunately, registration does nothing to prevent
the spread of illegal guns.

I'm amazed! We actually agree on something.
