Yet they exist in many states already. At the very least it is designed as a way to limit gun ownership in the next generation. If everyone who owns a gun is viewed to be crazy, a serial killer or a racist redneck, then who will continue the traditions of shooting sports? As well, purely from an opsec standpoint, any gun owner will have to tread very lightly around strangers when it comes to admitting they have a gun. I have seen posts from people who say 'if you are carrying near me, I take th  3447  at as a threat and I intend to eliminate that threat'. Its obviously keyboard bravado, but the left views the simple, legal right to own and carry a gun as a threat and all someone needs to is to 'feel' that a gun owner is a threat to 'red flag' them.
