Why would anyone ever feel a need to share the number, or lack thereof, of privately owned weapons to their neighbors and/or government?

No “Law” has ever deterred any criminal from attempting to rob, rape, or murder anyone.
OTOH, privately owned personal weapon(s) have proven to be very effective in avoiding robbery, rape, and attempted murder.
