You want a gun for home defence? Nope. You want a little gun for your purse for your trip to Starbucks? Nope. Concealed carry holster for your jeans? Nope.

Wouldn't pass the supreme court let along Congress and the Senate.
And lets say that you did. As I stated below. It would create a massive underground economy, except it would be guns coming out of Russia, China, Singapore, India etc.
The American's can't win the war on drugs, Law enforcement would never win a war on gun, I think that history shows that prohibition style policies don't work. The costs in this case would be massive. Massive expansion on border and port inspections, massive expansion of police especially since suppossedly the only people that buy guns would be criminals, so as President your term would be short by the way. Massive expansion of the TFA and FBI. You'd probably see guns being shipped in on small planes and boats.
The culture has to change, the need and desire to own guns have to change. That's education, that's stronger enforcement against gun crime. That's finding a way to make everyone feel safe and protected in their own home. That doesn't even start to address the stupidity of the whole Militia movement and the live and die by the 2nd amendment.
