Even if we implemented a gun registry, which is not very likely anytime soon, the likelihood of a game warden catching a hunter with a gun that was not registered or was not transferred in the registry to them upon private sale is very slim. It's not like our registration of cars. There are tons more LEO officers who are able to monitor cars than there are game wardens monitoring hunters and people get away with unregistered vehicles all the time.
