It's already happening in CA, which is why you'll never get gun owners to agree to your proposal. Gun control advocates and politicians have proven time and again that they are dishonest about their ultimate goal. No one is buying your "common sense gun laws" approach because it's a smokescreen.
I agree that there are some people who want to make all guns illegal, but you can't claim that is true of everyone. I know lots of people, even gun owners, who are in favor of licensing for all gun owners and registration of weapons. They are smart enough to realize that innocent people are being killed by criminals with guns. They don't care how many gang members are being killed. They don't think the death of some gang members makes it okay for innocent people to die as well.
The NRA has been scaring people to death about the government coming for their guns for years. They use that scare tactic to drive up the sale of guns.
If your only argument against a reasonable law that would save innocent lives is a paranoid fear of a future law then you really have no argument. You are already willing to break the law if they outlaw your guns so what difference will this licensing and registration make? If you are going to be a criminal over your gun possession it doesn't matter if you do it now or later. If they get the votes to outlaw guns then this law will not make any difference, but in the meantime it will save lives.
