No, there is a great deal of difference between gun, and computer registration. I can't remember ever hearing that someone was killed by an unregistered computer. Computer registration is just a way to track "us" better. Who would want to do the tracking, or why, I don't know, and frankly don't care. It is the idea that someone, anyone could track us just because we are using an intel chip. Intel chips once the bugs have been worked out, generally are faster than non intel chips, and I wouldn't want to have to use another chip simply because Intel is putting a non-optional serial number into their chips.
