How To Store Guns Long Term?

I was reading some old threads on the benefits of steel fame vs benefits of polymer and long term storage of the materials was brought up, which made me think of this.

If another Assault Weapons Ban like in 1994, or even an all out ban on new production were to happen and the only things that were legal are firearms that have been previously manufactured, how could we ensure our next generations could remain sufficiently armed without inconveniencing ourselves by giving them one of our firearms?

How would you store firearms for long term?
Someone recommended putting said firearms in a barrel, filling it with motor oil and sealing them, but I don't know if that would work well or not.

What kind of firearms would you store for long term?
I'm thinking of revolvers, 1911's with all steel magazines, AK's, SKS's, Mosin Nagants, Mausers, lever actions, shotguns with wood stocks, those types of things that are made of metal and wood.

What accessories and supplies should be stored separately for whenever the guns are needed?
Cleaning kits, gunsmithing tools, spam cans or similar packages of ammo, grease, oils, rags, and magazines. Those sorts of things are what I was thinking of here, maybe.

I'm not talking about burying your guns, just basically doing what the Russians did with the Mosin Nagant rifles, covering them in cosmoline for storage long enough to forget about them until someone needs them.

Thank you in advance for any response, I appreciate any kind of input.
