What makes you so confident that they WON'T take the next step if they success with this one? The same confidence that Obama's "change" would be good?

It is all about precedent. If this bill were to succeed, then it becomes the baseline. The gun control element would not be satisfied, but rather think of this as a step in the journey toward making firearms illegal and, emboldened by that success, push even harder for more restrictions. If you can't see that, then maybe I need to be in your Pollyanna world.

And no, I am not reactionary. According to the wiki dictionary, reactionary is "such a person; unthinkingly opposed to change; urging a return to a previous state; very conservative". Conservative, yes. Wanting to go back to the way it was? No just want to keep the way it is. Unthinkingly, no. I am not opposed to change just because it is change. I am opposed to change that threatens to change the character of this country.
