Registration has the same problem most anti-gun laws have, they are obeyed by the lawabiding. Criminals ignore them.
However, I do not fear registration leads to confiscation.

Perhaps you should. Registration of firearms has led to confiscation in many instances, and not all of them abroad. In recent years registration lists have been used to confiscate guns in Cleveland and in California, that I am aware of. There are probably other cases as well.
And, of course, there are numerous foreign examples.
Registration also led to confiscation of rifles brought back by WW II veterens to New York City.
In 1928, the Germans passed a law requiring registration and licensing. When Hitler got in power in 1933, the lists were available.
