Low hanging fruit, the favorite target of bureaucrats.
In the city of Toronto the police used our long gun registry and our restricted (basically handguns) registry cross referenced by our licencing system to systematically target law abiding gun owners over 70 years of age for improper storage and other paper crimes.
Why not? Going after the gangs with illegal handguns and long guns is scary dangerous business. Law abiding senior citizens are so much safer to go after.
