Unfortunately that kind of buyback will go nowhere and even if passed, many gun nuts already have plans to “lose” their weapons.

No, they need to be regulated not banned just like machine guns were in the NFA using that same law. Make every semi-automatic rifle with a removable magazine or holds more than 10 rounds covered by the NFA just like full auto weapons. The next time they are transfered - sales used or new, gift, inheritance - they are registered and a tax stamp is purchase. The cost of the stamp needs to be increased to ~$1000 and then indexed to inflation as well. This will regulated them in a way that is already settled law and more gun owners will comply than not. Save the hammer for the bad apples who refuse to register just as they have done with illegal fully automatic weapons for 80 years.
