The case precedent doesn't have to do with a person "intent on using a gun to commit a crime." It has to do with "prohibited person" status, i.e. a previously-convicted felon or other person who can't legally own a firearm. Such a person would be incriminating himself/herself if he/she attempted to register a firearm.

Hope that helped
