Registration of guns and licensing of gun owners are two sides of the same coin -- a precondition laid upon the exercise of the right not inherent to same; the state cannot create the plenary requirement for you to tell it when and how you will exercise your rights in order for you to then gain permission form the state to do so.
And yet that is exactly what happens with voting rights.
You have to be registered in order to be able to vote and the state determines when and where you can vote.
What is the difference between voting rights and gun rights as far as registration goes? The state has a right to know who has guns and which guns they have in order to be able to call on a militia to defend the state. The state is not infringing on your right to own a gun by requiring that you and your gun are registered.
Your position is a fallacy because the 2nd Amendment is clearly based upon the state's right to regulate.
