The US Government needs a list of all gun owners and the weapons they have.
It is the only way we can form well regulated militias
Based on the fact that not one of those lists exist from the era, your claim is ridiculous. The FF's had a healthy fear of big government so made it as difficult as possible for the government to interfere with the Peoples gun ownership. They would have thrown any person making your claims into the sewer had you had the audacity to make your claim to their faces.
Monarchies in the 1700's terrorized and abused their own people, they forbid them from owning arms so they could not fight back. Hence the 2nd amendment. It does not surprise me that the 1st amendment guaranteed free speech followed by the 2nd amendment which guaranteed the 1st could not be taken away.
