You would really have to up enforcement. I'm not saying that what you have here isn't a good idea. But
You would create a underground market for assault rifles.
You would create a underground market for bullet smuggling because it would instantly be more profitable then selling drugs.
I've advocated that if you own a gun you have to own hideously expensive insurance and if your caught with an uninsured weapon its 5 years at hard labor, if you shoot someone and your uninsured its life.
If you suddenly forced the insurance industry to insure guns it would counter a lobby group like the NRA, and the insurance industry would instantly push for gun reform.
