-- just the last ninety days the Obama administration has proposed 5798.

New regulations.

And some fear that there's another one on the way the could soon impact your Second Amendment Rights.

After the election -- -- gunshots reported rising sales sparked by fears that access to firearms and ammunition could be restricted.

Our next guest says that may not be far from the truth.

Gun rights experts on Snyder joins us -- mr.

Schneider thanks for your time today.

Thank you Shannon it's very good debate here I'll ask you about something -- you wrote about just a few days ago you say according to confidential information.

That force is linked with the administration are suggesting the government might reclassify.

Certain firearms and weapons.

Changing their status under the national firearms act which would make it a lot more difficult to get that what can you tell us about that.

Well according to via conference confidential information I have.

Semi automatic firearms or certain -- -- automatic firearms under this scenario.

Would be declared as title two national firearms act firearms.

The the false argument they would use for this is to say that that certain semi automatic firearms can be.

Easily made and two were changed and to fully automatic -- this is untrue of course but.

Of course this type of thing has not stop this administration in the past but this would mean is that.

People who wish to acquire semi automatic firearms.

Would not be able to acquire them unless they were willing to get their prior approval by the government.

And pay a 200 dollar fine for each separate firearms.

This of course would generate tremendous animosity on -- part of via.

Hundreds of millions of -- firearms only Americans in the United States.

And could -- I think to a move in the House of Representatives.

To slash the budget of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.

Which would be the agency the Obama administration would order to pursue.

At this endeavor if -- so chose to do so.

And my understanding is that and the way you've laid this out congress would not be involved in this process our elected representatives would be involved he mentioned that.

Possibly through the bureau of alcohol firearms and explosives.

Basically what would happen is this would be a move by the administration that would go into a fact without the legislature getting involved.

Well -- best the problem area is set -- you see the yeah.

Big dog and rivers in the United States for years of -- to deprive law abiding citizens of being able to obtain any firearms especially in this case.

-- -- -- -- firearms there is a move by the gun wherever in congress to try to ban.

Semi automatic firearms or certain semi automatic firearm.

But they probably will not get very far but this proposal because there simply is not public support for it.

So the Doc Rivers that would rely on their boy in the White House.

Two to use executive order in this way to try to -- them dictate law abiding citizens from being able to -- -- these firearms.

We're legitimate purposes.

While there.

The White House say each time his gun rights issue has come -- -- said that you know the president and the White House have no intention at all of depriving Americans of their Second Amendment Rights but we know that there's also.

A UN treaty that the US is now involved in negotiating and hammering out that would also deal -- with gun rights so.

We'll keep a close eye on what you've tagged -- on that treaty as well and double keep folks out there updated on -- thank you for your time.

Thank you Shannon thank you.

When you report.
