But you could require them to be registered, and for the owners to regularly show up for classes where they demonstrate proficiency with them.  Sure, a lot of people would loudly disobey at first, but if we were determined to do it, the guns would most all be registered within a generation.

I know a lot of people say that registration is just a step away from confiscation.  Maybe, but the government won't be able to suddenly confiscate a significant number of these weapons by surprise.  And if there's no surprise, people will hand their registered weapon off to buddies temporarily.  

Long story short, there is stuff the government could do, but most of it wouldn't bear fruit for decades even if we started trying now.

I guarantee you, none of the people I know would register their guns or show up for classes, (they already know how to safely handle a gun and don't feel they need to prove it to the government.) Thinking you could register all of them or even half of them in a generation is a pipe dream.
Australia, New Zealand, New York, and California are prime examples of an attempted registration being useless. Ironically, those guns go missing and/or get lost. I guarantee you if I hadn't lost mine in a boating accident, they would not find their way on a registration, Gestapo visit or not.
