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.

Will Rule .30-06 do? I don't have a .308. ;-)
Wow I’m sorry to hear that.
I lost all mine in a horrible out house accident.
They can go diving for them if they want
I am an NRA-ILA grassroots volunteer. I just checked with the NRA and they told me that this story is not true.
"Governments that rule by decree might find out about Rule 303" rhymes. ;-)
Are you familiar with the full infamy of April 19?
April 19th, 1775. Yes.
The groundwork for the Obama/Congressional DICTATORSHIP was laid DECADES ago — and it was predicted by Mr. Jefferson with these words:
“When the servants of the people are paid in something other than that which the people themselves produce (i.e. REAL, SUBSTANTIVE, SWEAT OF THE BROW WEALTH), the roles of master and servant will be reversed.”
Now that the cretins in DC can produce all the “money” they need out of thin air, except to try to keep us from catching on to the fiat currency scam via inflation, they no longer NEED ours.
So now you know why they no longer listen to us.
“He legally can’t do it.
The author doesn’t understand what the NFA is. They would have to create a class for semi-automatic firearms through an act of Congress for the NFA before he could do it as semi-auto firearm do not fit into any current catagory.
However, if he did do so, contrary to Federal law...he’d have to offer a general amnesty of the NFRTR including machine guns. He cannot do a limited Amnesty as that is outlawed specifically in the 1968 GCA. Only a General Amnesty of the NFRTR is authorized except by an act of Congress. He dares not open that door.
I DARE the administration to go down this road. We’ll have an end to the MG ban and a few other nice little things that the anti’s wet their panties just thinking about.”
Such voices of reason and knowledge need to be repeated, hence the quote from my friend BCR’s post.
Sounds like he knows what he is talking about.
Except that there has been no budget for 4 years. There's just been some sort of "continuing resolution". Obama would just veto the budget and blame the resulting government shutdown on "those gun-fanatic Republicans".
It worked so well in Canada.
Handguns are part of the ban. Time to get out those old bolt-action rifles...Wait! Those are sniper guns!
Canadian horses are all unicorns now?
Be Ever Vigilant!!
Ain't going to happen soon.....
Maybe down the road someday....but not within The Bummer's term....IMO.
No, because they don’t reload the chamber by themselves after a shot is fired. You have to manually reload (bring a new chamber into alignment with the barrel) by the discrete action of pulling the trigger again or cocking the hammer, even on a DA revolver.
Cute phrases and sayings won't stop the jackboots.
MOLON LABE.
You can get a new AR15 over the counter at Walmart for $600 now. $800-900 if you want a better one.
Where do YOU live that has AR15’s at Wal-mart, much less for $600?
>>Cute phrases and sayings won’t stop the jackboots.
Yep. The time has come to start being a threat to these totalitarian thugs and the cannon fodder that voted for them.
