They aren't going to come beating down your door. They aren't going to shoot you.
Their strategy is to make it too expensive to buy any more guns or ammunition. Then make it illegal to carry in public. Then very quietly, over 5-10 years, Americans grow used to never seeing or firing guns except by police & military. Anyone who has one is considered a dangerous outlaw, like pot-smoking hippies were 30 years ago. Except unlike pot, you can't grow a new gun or ammo in your backyard. So guns gradually fade away on their own, and all without any heroic Waco-vs-ATF-style last stands.
You can keep your gun in your attic for decades and it won't make a single bit of difference to their plan.
In theory, you are correct. That is exactly their strategy.
What you are ignoring is the black market that will emerge for manufacturing ammo, running "speak easy" gun ranges where those laws are ignored, etc.
Think prohibition and how that worked out. Or the war on drugs. Especially marijuana. There aren't enough police and military in the country to enforce those laws. On top of that, many would look the other way.
