So complete psychopaths don't have easy, instant acess to firearms.
so police have a record of the gun and its serial numbers in case a crime is commited.Also so they can identify who the gun is registered in oder to show ownership in case gun is stolen
Actually, it depends on context. In the U.S. contrary to popular belief, there is no national registration. A few states require registration, but the vast majority don't, and also, you don't have to have any kind of permit to own the gun except in about 3 states.

It depends on where you are. In the U.S. each state sets its own rules.

Other than handguns, basically anyone can carry any legal weapon, but to carry a handgun, you must have the handgun permit. On the other hand, Florida issues a "concealed weapons permit" and it covers any legal weapon.

Once you have a TN permit, you can carry any handgun you own, and it can be open carry or concealed.
