No way to effectively capture it? What happens if you vote and you aren’t registered to do so? I know this is where the “making criminals out of otherwise law abiding citizens” argument comes in, but registering to vote isn’t in the constitution, it was added via laws later and I’m sure plenty of people saw it as unfathomable at the time.
There's a few problems with a registry. One, it is currently against the law. Two, you'll see mass non-compliance. People will, correctly IMO, see a registry as a tool for later confiscation efforts. They won't register their firearms. The problem is the Dems have lied about their intent on guns so often that no one believes a thing they say on the subject now. O'Rourke really let the mask slip when he flat out said that the government will be coming for your "AR 15s and AK 47s". No one trusts them on this topic and no one likely ever will. One need only see what happens the Dems take a majority at any level of government, more gun control. They've shot themselves in the foot on any further concessions because they'll only be followed by a demand for more.
