Call it what it really is - a backdoor registry.

Guns, books, contraceptives... whatever an oppressive government may be interested in having a registry of, they have one by default once anonymous payments are destroyed.

Guns, books and contraceptives. Great list.

You forgot 3d printers.

Yeah. Recent court records suggested the feds do (or did at one point) request purchase records of 3D printers. So those probably are on a list.
