Yes. Much tougher.
One of the things on Biden’s website is that he intends to make “assault weapons” and “high capacity magazines” NFA items.
The 1968 GCA says the ATF gets to decide if something is “sporting” or not, and can add weapons to the list without Congressional approval. They did this years ago with the Street Sweeper.
So, Biden can sign an Executive Order telling the ATF to do so. His website says there’s an amnesty period during which you can jump through the NFA paperwork and pay the $200 tax per item (gun, each magazine)
