Many gun control advocates want that. It is not at all difficult to find posts proclaiming only the police and military should have guns. "Melt 'em down" is the mantra of several posters.

The position held by even more GC advocates that the 2A only applies to the militia leaves open the possibility that eventually gun control will include banning guns from civilian ownership. The old statement by the founder of Handguns Inc that goal of gun control is to incrementally increase regulation until all guns are banned has never been explicitly rejected by any gun control organization.
