It serves no purpose to Freedom Loving Americans, However gives the Federal Government the venue to seize arms.
What happen in LV was a Terrorist Act and was planned for weeks to take out Conservatives and punish Trump supporters. The Left and the DNC has endorsed Assignation and direct action to any whom questions the Left's Agenda.
Of the millions of guns sold every year the 2% is the ones who use fire arms in a unlawful manner.
What exactly is it and what is it for? I mean, for what purpose?
One purpose of a national gun registry would be to allow purchases of large volumes of guns by one individual to be noticed, especially if many of these purchase were happening more rapidly in the present. In the case of the Vegas shooter a gun registry would have allowed the FBI to see his multiple purchase in different states occurring rapidly in the last year, and also alert them that he already owned quite a few guns prior to starting his latest binge of buying. They could have then gone and interviewed him, and perhaps he would have snapped then and gotten into a gun fight with authorities that resulted in far fewer deaths, maybe even just his own. Or perhaps they would have simply picked up on something and chose to investigate further, and found things like the calculations he had for how to kill the maximum amount of people in a crowd, and stopped everything dead in its tracks then.
Already owned guns cannot be confiscated under US law. The ex post facto clause of the Constitution forbids this. Knowing who owns these guns and how many they are buying and how fast could definitely aid in stopping these sorts of things.

Unless they obtain them illegally. No criminal would do that. They always obey the law.
We need some kind of registry to record someone buying 40 or 50 guns. I suspect if this guy was an American born Muslim whose family had been here for 30 years or more folks would be outraged the govt. didn't have their eye on him for buying all that stuff.
But because this guy is a white guy that seemed to be like our neighbors......whoa -- can't have that. Can't be having the govt. keeping an eye on white guys with all those guns.
No logic, no sense.
No registry for those on meds for mental health issues, no registry of people buying all kinds of guns, no registry for anything...but for those that buy cars, boats, planes......oh okay.
I don't know what the answer is but knowing this guy was able to amass all that artillery without any kind of alarms (subtle or big) going off to anybody is disconcerting.
Illegal is a strawman argument. No sense in making it easier for legal owners who decide to go off the deep end to have that many either. And it does happen. As it does with any other weapon but guns are not any other weapon.
Unless they obtain them illegally. No criminal would do that. They always obey the law.
Prior to the shootings , the Vegas shooter wasn't a criminal. Neither was the Orlando shooter. Neither was the Aurora shooter. Whats your point?
A gun registry would have also red flagged the Aurora shooter, who purchased his guns all within a short time, along with thousands of rounds of ammo. In addition, he had known mental issues and had made comments about killing people to others, which would have almost certainly been discovered had the FBI had the means to notice the sudden multiple gun and ammo purchases and investigated him.
