An anti-gun owner initiative considered in Washington could lead to massive civil disobedience and a severe domestic crisis, gun law expert John M. Snyder warned on Friday.
"According to confidential information," he said, "forces linked with the administration suggest the government classify semiautomatic firearms and multiple capacity ammunition feeding devices as Title 2 National Firearms Act items under the Gun Control Act of 1968.
Americans familiar with federal gun laws understand that under this scenario, semiautomatics and high capacity magazines could be acquired only with great difficulty and at great expense by America's estimated 100 million law-abiding firearms owners, notes Snyder.
According to Snyder and other gun ownership advocates, the Obama administration long ago realized it would have insurmountable difficulty getting a semiautomatic gun ban, such as that considered by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and others, passed Congress, especially when the House is controlled by defenders of the Second Amendment.
Congressional Second Amendment supporters already are preparing for such a battle. During the Clinton years, Congress enacted a partial, temporary semiautomatic ban but allowed it to sunset after 10 years because of its lack of significant negative impact on crime, according to surveys conducted by the National Association of Chiefs of Police.
The Obama administration, now safely reelected, may order the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to take the classification step. Some gun-grabbers view the designation of Street Sweeper shotguns as Title 2 firearms during the Clinton administration as precedent for such a move.

Are we talking about guns as mundane as my semi auto hunting shotgun?
Yup.
If it reloads the chamber by itself after a shot has been fired and waits for you to pull the trigger again, it’s a semi-auto. And it’s on the chopping block.
[[Obama to bypass congress to ban semiautomatic firearms, warns expert]]
News Flash- The Dear leader is set to bypass congress on a great many thigns and to use the EXCUSE that he is bypassing congress and trampling our constuitutional rights because accordign to him ‘the public clearly mandated by their votes for him that America wants a stronger more assertive president’
You are goign to see dear leader unleashed and UNCHALLENGED because all we can get out of the GOP is ‘Gee- we’re ‘deeply dissappointed’ by Susan Rice’s assertions’? Are you kidding me? And she’s probably goign to win nomination? What in THE HELL has the GOP sunk to? The left woudl have crucified a Bush appointee had they goen out and LIED REPEATEDLY to America and the world abotu hte cold blooded murders of Americans on American soil overseas- That person woudl have been long gone- but susan rice is still going to be3 nominated? Have thje GOP slipped that far into hte sewer that theyu can no logner stand up to the RATS that inhabit it?
Well, we did save the beer and the Scotch, so the day wasn’t entirely tragic .....
This looks like it will end well. /s If our servants decide to become our masters, will we let them?
I’m sorry, the President has no more authority to ban guns than I do.
Boy, it’s getting so that you need to hire a lawyer to keep track of how the Feds are classifying your guns, your food, etc.
Such an illegal action would interfere with my God given right to bear arms.
PISSPOTUS can sign an EO making all horses unicorns but they won't be crapping Skittles anytime soon.
“Feinstein proposed no grandfathering, so her ban would affect existing firarms also.”
Yes, that’s what I read about her bill. Those who have those weapons would have to turn them in. When I read that, I thought this is it - guys aren’t giving up those guns.
I’m beginning to think the Obummer really is sleeper salesman for arms manufacturers.
Either that or there is mass propaganda by the manufacturers to create gun buying hysteria with an anti-2A president in the white hut.
Yes
So that means every gun except revolvers and single shot guns are all that would be legal.
The dictator wannabe is taking lessons from Chavez and Morsi.

Little by little, inch by inch...
They are obsessed with this quest to disarm the citizens (like socialized medicine). The House Republicans must stand firm always on this issue. The progressives are not going to back down. Scary times because lying sells. Integrity/promoting constitutional rights gets you ridiculed by the media ..
Relying on republicans to stand firm...
I’ll say this. If my constitutional rights have no meaning, then neither do any of the laws passed by the government it created.
No one other than God rules over you.
Peace, FRiend.
It’s always worked for them. Legal gun owners in CA, MA, NJ, NY, DC, Il, Chicago, NYC have all bent over, grabbed their ankles and turned them in. Why expect anything else from sheep?
