Although there is not an explicit right to privacy in the Constitution, the Supreme Court has derived a generalized one through their reading of the Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments. The creation of a registry of this nature would immediately result in a court challenge to it.

Sure first it will be anyone with more then fifty guns. Can't have that, they might use all fifty of them at one time and kill some innocent people. Then there will be a person that losses it and kills a bunch of people even though he only owned twenty guns. He also used thirty round magazines so that must be the problem so we must go to no more then five guns and five round magazines.
Then we will have the person that had just two guns and used one of them to kill ten people one shot at a time but was judged to be mentally unstable.
Then you will have anybody that wants to own a gun to be judged to be mentally unstable because the idiot wants to own and use a gun.

I know mass killings are a hot topic at the moment.
However the much bigger problem is that one ethnic i keep talking about. It's where the highest density of murders takes place.
If you eliminated all mass murders it would not make much difference in the stats. This is a really difficult problem.
It's also a good example of how we let the media grab our attention and lead us around by the nose.

Killings by so called assault weapons are barely a blip in causes of death. As Newfie has alluded to, but I did not want to bring up due to the shit storm it causes, a small group of inner city blacks waging a drug war with each other, vastly sway the gun death statistics. Solve that problem and our homicide and crime rate goes way down.
