I just saw this article and the accompanying video detailing the long lines to register "assault weapons" in Connecticut.

To be honest, the reactions of some people have me baffled. I must live in an echo chamber.
A few quotes mentioned in the article -
One person in line said, "I understand why they're doing it, but I don't think it's constitutional."
Here's the one that gets me the most.
"If they were trying to make them illegal, I'd have a real issue, but if they want to just know where they are, that's fine with me."
That whole sentence confounds me.
What is the attitude of most people who go to register their firearms? Is it "I have nothing to hide," or is it, "This is wrong, but it's the law and I have to"?
