Probably not. The canon Democrat Tanner Administration, with it's law and order focus (translation=ban guns), would probably veto any attempt at repeal. Not that it really mattered. The 1994 ban was a verifiable sexual congress of rodents, failing to ban anything except "streetsweeper" shotguns. (Which have probably killed more people in the movies than in real life. . .)
Once the shooting starts, importation becomes a moot point. China, the Warsaw Pact, etc are at war, and are no longer in the civilian weapons business. Domestic production as well is likely to be increasingly devoted to war needs. The Chinese are probably buying anything they can lay their hands on, and paying cash to boot.
After the nukes fly, there won't be enough of a Congress to do much of anything, and most of the country won't be listening anyway.
The short answer is no repeal. However, as things go downhill, I would also imagine a large dose of no enforcement.
