I don't think universal registration, in and of itself, violates the 2nd.

The only constitutional way they can do that is to make it a tax.

That is what the AKA "ban" on machine guns is. NFA34 imposes a $200
tax on a machine gun (more than a Thompson cost in 1934). The fly in
that ointment is you need to pass a background check and get the local
cops to sign off before they will let you buy that tax stamp ... and
it is a lick it and stick it stamp on a BATF form 4.,

Be careful what you are agreeing to.
Do you really want the IRS collecting a tax on every gun you own every
year?

Talk about law breakers!
At the very least, a whole lot more guns would flood the underground
market.

There you go.
gfretwell has spoken on the Constitution.
And "predicted."

I did not speak for the Constitution, the SCOTUS did and that was how
they determined that NFA34 was legal.
GCA68 was simply an extension of NFA34

Many laws that were not structured that way were struck down by
Heller.

As for the underground gun economy, it flourishes the most in places
where the laws are strictest. When will we ever learn the lesson of
prohibition?
Name one law against things people want that has not caused a massive
underground enterprise to supply that item and short circuit any
effort to regulate it..

The federal anti-marijuana laws!
