Registration of firearms and their quantity will lead to two things.

1) Ultimately the government will decide at what point how many weapons you own constitutes a threat to national security. Cue the FBI to investigate, make you feel like a criminal, and take your weapons.

2) Once the weapons are registered, it becomes a simpler matter to start killing gun owner's rights to the point of weapons becoming illegal altogether. At that point, it's a simple matter to attempt to collect them. "Well, they're all registered. We know where they are. Let's go get them."

A particular popular phrase comes to mind here.....something about cold dead hands.

So everyone is nervous about a Slippery Slope?
