Plus it couldn't apply to criminals, due to the 5th amendment (remember, being a convicted felon in possession of ammo alone is a felony, so such a system would require self-incrimination)
The problem is that what they are advocating is the equivalent of EVERYBODY being preemptively FORCED to give the Government a DNA sample to cut down on crime. There's no way in hell it would survive constitutional muster.
