Republicans will never agree to Federal control, and unless it's enforced at the Federal level it won't be enforced in states that hold gun rights to be sacrosanct and we'll have the same situation as we have now where mass shootings in California, New York, etc. will be done by perps that acquire their assault rifles & ammo in states with little or no enforcement of regulations.

I for one do not see any meaningful gun control/reform in our future. Any legislation at the national level will be fought tooth and nail by the NRA and its affiliates and will be watered down if it passes at all. Next as you have suggested, red states will refuse to enforce these laws at the local level. Outlaw assault weapons, chances are that they will easily be modified with aftermarket parts. Its a lose lose until we reach a breaking point with mass killings and even then some will point out that more people are killed driving their cars.
