Biden: W.H. readies 19 executive actions on guns By: Reid J. Epstein January 14, 2013 06:49 PM EST
The White House has identified 19 executive actions for President Barack Obama to move unilaterally on gun control, Vice President Joe Biden told a group of House Democrats on Monday, the administration’s first definitive statements about its response to last month’s mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Later this week, Obama will formally announce his proposals to reduce gun violence, which are expected to include renewal of the assault weapons ban, universal background checks and prohibition of high-capacity magazine clips. But Biden, who has been leading Obama’s task force on the response, spent two hours briefing a small group of sympathetic House Democrats on the road ahead in the latest White House outreach to invested groups.
The focus on executive orders is the result of the White House and other Democrats acknowledging the political difficulty of enacting any new gun legislation, a topic Biden did not address in Monday’s meeting.
“It was all focusing on enforcing existing law, administering things like improving the background database, things like that that do not involve a change in the law but enforcing and making sure that the present law is administered as well as possible,” said Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.).
But Biden did indicate that the remains of the Obama campaign apparatus may be activated in the effort.
“He said that this has been a real focus on the policy and that the politics of this issue, that a strategy on the politics of the issue hasn’t been undertaken yet,” Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) told POLITICO. “He did remind us that the campaign infrastructure is still accessible.”

“I don’t really have any personal involvement in this matter.”
I understand what you mean - but you might want to rethink that. As Mark Levin says, “it’s not about Gun Control - it is about Citizen Control”.
ALL citizens.
I got a big ‘ignore’ button...You gotta step up your game man! ;)
More rational than someone who thinks obama was the better option.
I guess some of you somehow think I was a Romney supporter. Nope. I liked Newt, Bachmann, and Santorum. I hoped that before Romney got enough delegates he could be stopped. But come election day, I recognized the danger that four more years of Obama would bring. It was not a happy vote, but I cast it.
So I’ll use your words. Don’t try to blame me for Romney. Where did this crap get started? This is like junior high rumors.
In case you forget, at the last minute, JimRob told us he had no choice but to try to stop Obama. I guess JimRob is a RINO and like me drinks the Kool-Aid.
Sig heil mein Fhurer!
Now go dig up a single bit of proof showing me to have ever said or believed that. When you can’t, I expect you to admit your error.
The ignore button was sent to Norm, not you. Are you drinking tonight?
(Stupid is a Progressive disease.) You’re Right
I recall him saying each of us had to decide for ourselves what to do.
He never campaigned for him.
The big drop off was from George Bush to McCain ~ there was no uptick to Romney of any real consequence.
Your problem is the party's more leftwing types, who demand all the power positions in the RNC, didn't turn out the vote.
The Republican party would show up with about 9 million voters if they lost the Conservatives!
Not voting for romney was a vote for obama.
Ignoring my posts does nothing to disprove their factual nature. Shall I post a bunny with a pancake on it’s head? Same difference.
Come up with something else ~ maybe, Sets Fire to Heretics or something at a greater remove eh!
Googled 19 - result #5:

You just keep justifying yourself and be happy out there in fantasyland. Because you know that elections do not work like that. And so does anyone being honest about it.
In order to really demonstrate how little he cares his next response will have blinking neon font. LOL
Remember, when they say gun VIOLENCE they mean gun OWNERSHIP.
Do not be deceived.
I don’t drink. Why is that your first thought?
1) Palin (had she decided to run)
2) Cain
3) Bachmann
4) Newt/Perry
5) Santorum
6) Romney
I didn't bother to place the remaining few.
I would've voted for whomever won the primary. Anybody would've been a plus over a Marxist.
Question (Yes or No):
If Romeny were President right now, would he be trying to take our guns?
Well his html skills are the best thing about his posts as his ‘facts’ are pretty messed up. One might say ‘not facts at all’...and be correct in saying it.
