There already are illegal gun registrations. NICS was specifically banned from keeping records, yet, after years of Janet Reno she kept it.

Right now if you purchase a semi auto rifle you get an instant online background check. The ATF can come in and look at those records but they cannot take them offsite. If you have a CCL then there is no background check for weapons purchase.
If BHO were to try to re-classify semi autos as Class Three weapons then you would be talking about getting finger printed, a criminal background check, registering each and every individual weapon and a $200 fee for each weapon. In addition you would be required to have a gun safe at your home and all weapons woud have to be locked up in that safe when not in use. You would be subject to unannounced ATF inspections at anytime of the day or night and you would have to notify the ATF if you moved the weapons to any other location.
