The Heller decision would not prevent requiring a license to own a gun or a gun registry. There is currently a federal law against a gun registry, but it is not a constitutional amerndment. It could be removed by the legislature.
You are saying what Heller says explicitly, which I get. I am saying that its impact in establishing the individual right to bear arms over the collective is one that could impact future court decisions for courts that look at the precedence set in Heller when viewing gun control legislation.
