on these gun threads is severly hampered by your assertion that gun ownership is a matter of public record in the U.S. Even in Iowa, the permits are required only for the purchase of handguns and there is no record of what specific handgun is purchased, or if a handgun is actually purchased. Two Iowa counties have decided to destroy the permit applications.
Gun registration is one of the biggest battles on the topic of gun control laws. That you believe it to already be the law of the land proves just how delusional you appear to be.
