The US Federal Government isn't even close to exerting control over the things it has control over.
The federal government could enact firearm policies matching the most restrictive state policies. Closed private sale loopholes, concealed carry permits on a 'may issue' basis (and issued only by an understaffed ATF office upon proof of extensive training). Strict assault weapons ban. Huge hoops to jump though to obtain handguns. Beyond all this, the Constitution is open to amendment and in that area all bets are off.
