This seems a bit far reaching. They already know your address, social security number, DOB, phone number, any aliases, height, weight, etc.
What do they propose to do with the information?
You know, sensible stuff.

According to the logic we should require all males under the age of 21 to register their social media accounts as 6 out of 9 mass shootings are committed by males 21 and under. [0] Remember not all/most shooters purchase their guns.

Psychological arg: Self-repression in society is already a cause of widespread alienation. How about bringing people into society and treating them well instead of subjecting them to chronic invalidation?
Political arg: Any party could use this to disempower other parties. Foreign actors, already shown to have powerful influence within our borders, can use this to disempower and weaken us.
Personally: I'm center-left and don't see a chance in heck of prohibition solving our problems. It's all about giving us the leadership, examples, and space to live out our values. What politician do you actually respect? Chasing wealth has occluded all of our values. Financial and health insecurity has dominated our psychology leaving us emotionally stunting and living in fear. Our founders weren'y perfect but their goal of a free, safe spirit should be persued by a trusting, cooperative, respectful society, not by forming a hierarchy of wage slavery.
Imagine they want social media accounts for a driver's license.
