I don't think it's going to happen. IMO If the President really wanted these guns to be banned he would have tried to push for it early in his first term when he had a Democratic Senate and House majority.
I also think the Supreme Court has enough backbone to uphold citizen's individual rights.

I don't think he anticipated losing control of the House in his first term.
Furthermore, we are about two heartbeats away from the SCOTUS being eager supporters of such a ban. Given some of Roberts' decisions, maybe only one heartbeat away.
