:         Why would having "better knowledge and control" over the
: firearms of law-abiding owners (who are the ones targetted by the
: registration system) make you feel any safer.

Should we allow "law-abiding" chemists make biological weapons or 
"law-abiding" phyicists build small nuclear bombs because they get a kick 
out of the boom?

The issue at hand is public safety, not how you get your kicks.
