8. Disparate impact, yes.
Registration processes, fees, training requirements- all affect those least likely to a) be able to afford the extra expense, and b) be able to take time off work to take classes or chase a signature by a county bureaucrat.

Measures that raise the prices for guns and ammunition (useless features like microstamping or ammunition registration) affect the poor more than others- and those are more likely minorities.
