Criminals Legally Exempt from Gun Registration

Why should honest, law-abiding citizens cave in to the proposed gun registration scheme being proposed?  Consider this:  ruled in Haynes vs. U.S. (1968) that convicted felons have a Constitutional right to not register a gun, because to register a gun would be self-incrimination. Only people that aren’t criminals can be punished for not registering. If the criminals aren’t required to register, but you and I are, why bother?
