The NSSF is the sales lobby. The NRA is a politician factory that uses guns as pretext.
Gun violence correlates with the guns accessible to those who would commit a violent offense with a gun, which doesn't actually correlate with the number of guns, but their street value. The removal of a small fraction of the overall number of guns as narrowly defined by trace data would have a pronounced effect on gun violence, but probably wouldn't have a pronounced effect on overall gun deaths. We can stop the gun crimes, but the actions that would be capable of doing that don't effect suicides.
If d's want to reduce the number of overall gun deaths, then they should focus on mental health. If they want to reduce the number of gun deaths accounted for by gun crime, they should reduce the number of cheap pistols in circulation. If they want to do both, they can, but they would be different programs..neither of which have anything to do with banning or regulating black rifles or magazine capacity, which would be it's own program that didn't effect either of the preceding two.
