It might. One tactic often used is the, "we aren't going after hunters". I think many gun control agendas intentionally target individual segments, because the backlash is more manageable and support from people on the fence is easier to muster. This also might show those people on the fence that this initiative is likely driven by 10% safety initiatives and 90% social control initiatives.
However, even if united, it can be hard to make an impact when a huge portion of those in leadership positions are not only anti-gun themselves, but are in office partly because of money coming from the gun control agenda, leaving obligations that may even override the will of a united front of citizens. It's the only explanation I have for the ongoing atrocities happening in Chicago, where people are being slaughtered like hogs, and yet a huge portion of leadership tries to blame other States & then double down on the gun control initiatives.
I agree with others that this type of bill is a long-term investment strategy. Those pushing it know that interrupting one aspect of an entire system can result in a changed outcome. This type of bill can, over years or decades, reduce the number of new shooters, and over time reduce support for the 2A itself if fewer people are exercising such right.
