No it could not. A law regarding who can purchase weapons does not require a license or registration law. It can be passed even if there was never a law requiring registration.
And a persons decision to break gun ownership laws in the future has nothing to do with any registration law today.
Gun registration would make it harder for criminals to buy and posses weapons. So basically you are arguing that we should help criminals today because a registration law woukld hurt criminals in the future. Amazing how sympathetic some "law abiding citizens" are to criminals when it comes to their shared love of guns.

Actually voter ID laws were admitted as a means to suppress by Pennsylvania House Republican Leader Mike Turzai, but that is beside the point.
Voter ID laws are not needed becaus there is practically zero evidence of voter fraud through fake ID at the polls. Instead most voter fraud occurs at the registration level. And even "the left" acknowledge that ID should be required in order to register.
Requiring ID to vote does not address any existing problem and it does suppress the vote of the disadvantaged. People who rant about voter ID act like they do not know how voter registration works.
