Anyway back on track...
Making the map in of itself would not be a rights violation, although it would likely be an exercise in frustration more than anything. The government would either be in the position of violating rights or having a map that was not worth the paper it was written on.
Let us suppose the Governor of Oz decided to make a map showing where all the gunowners lived so that the flying monkeys could gather up all the lollipop kin that might make trouble when the time came. I have a house in the Emerald City and stay sometimes at Esmerelda's Ranch. If I keep most of my weapons at the ranch and Esmerelda does not own any boomsticks (not broomsticks... she has plenty of those) then they would have no way of knowing where the guns were without a search. Since there is no way I am letting the flying monkeys in my house without a warrant it is either violate my rights or have a bad map.
I move about every two years. Sometimes I move to other states, sometimes I move back to states I already lived in. Good luck tracking that. I can't even remember some of the places I have lived.
By the time this map was put together it would not be worth the digits. Remember we are talking about a government that can't even tell you within $10 billion how much money they spend each year. To track 300,000,000 guns and 80,000,000 gun owners is likely beyond their abilities.
One of the issues with the LAPD plan was that they needed to go into houses to see where people were living. That is clearly a violation of the 4th ammendment. If they wanted to find out where gun owners were living they would face similar problems.
