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.”

Never forget that disarmament always precedes genocide.
ENFORCING those bans . . .well, that’s going to be a different story...
The Establishment said they couldn’t win, like Sarah Palin, so they try a moderate and get slammed by the low-info and Socialized public educated morons who love a Muslim destroying the land ther forefathers died for. All for free stuff and PC “lets not criticize the black guy” when he is flushing their country down the drain.
Neither one of these guys are good at attracting competent help.
True, but the GOP hung him out to dry from everything I read.
I keep on hoping that maybe things will get better..that people will finally wake up. I dont think every single person who owns a gun is a Republican..there has to be Democrats who are gun owners too..are they fine with this? We are living in hell right now..everything I imagined would happen IS happening..I hoped that it would not happen..kept on being told “Dont worry, Obama won’t be so bad” oh REALLY..he has been WORSE, WORSE than my wildest dreams..the man is a scum bag...when I see him I see the devil..even Bill Clinton wasn’t THIS bad..I could tolerate him, didn’t agree with him but I could tolerate him..with Obama, its a whole new ballgame..his agenda, is to turn America into the Socialist European Utopia that Progressives have always wanted
Notice that Communists in this country are no longer afraid to come out and say they are Communists. I remember a time where Commies hid under rocks, were afraid to say they were Commies, now that they have their #1 Commie in the White House they can be free about what they want..Id say about 80 percent of the media today are Commies, they are very happy promoting Obama’s agenda because it is THEIR agenda..its truly scary times right now and I refuse to allow them to win..they take away the 2nd Amendment, our freedom, what do we have left..nothing

Like it or not, you sure will be involved, when, disarmed, they come to apply the final solution to the "bitter clinger standing in the way of social justice problem."
The Armenians, Jews, Kulaks etc also just wanted to be left out of the problems of the world. But the evil came looking for them, after first disarming them in the name of "public safety."
Palin was my choice too, always has been, but the corrupt GOP Establishment didnt want her to run..didnt even invite her to speak at the GOP Convention..corrupt bastards, they would rather give us Chris Christie than give us Conservatives as candidates
I want to throttle each and every one I know that voted for this tripe. Stupid freaking idiots. Rampage is the calmest term I can use...arrggggggh.
It ain't over 'til it's over.
FWIW Norm did not bring up the subject of last November’s elections. Those who think it’s fun to stir the pot by making accusations against some contingent of always unnamed FReepers for allegedly not voting for Romney brought it up. Maybe it would be better if no one responded to such idiots but do you think that’s a realistic expectation on this forum?
They did everything possible to tank her and run moderates. And look how many on the right went along with MSNBC talking points.
We can’t ever let it happen again. With anyone who is conservative. And that means an end to the crap that has gone on for years on the right.
Or we keep doing it expecting a different choice. I don’t have faith in any ‘change if things keep up as they are.
Why would he use the number nineteen? Something to do with Gun Appreciation day on the 19th? Would this be sending a signal, perhaps?
Apparently, Obama may believe he's the second coming of King George.
The Battles of Lexington and Concord were the first military engagements of the Revolutionary War. April 19, 1775 to be exact.
"The Battles of Lexington and Concord signaled the start of the American Revolutionary war on April 19, 1775. The British Army set out from Boston to capture rebel leaders Samuel Adams and John Hancock in Lexington as well as to destroy the Americans store of weapons and ammunition in Concord. The colonists were warned however, by riders including Paul Revere, that the British Army was approaching. Sam Adams and John Hancock were able to escape and the local militia was able to hide much of their ammunition and weapons.

It’s easy when people just let the same lies repeat without opposition. Look how well that philosophy works for Obama.
Nope, I didn’t start it. That’s true. But I will be damned if I let that BS go unanswered any more.
Appreciate the support.
Your posters are as good or better than anything else out there. It’s amazing to me that so many people just don’t get it!
Unfortunately they are going to do the exact same thing in 2016..why do you think the media has been kissing Christie’s fat ass for months..they want him to be the nominee and then they will destroy him..that is what the media and the left do..they tell us EVERYDAY who they are afraid of and they are NOT afraid of Chris Christie..they praise him but laughing at him behind his back because he is no threat..in fact..the more I hear him talk the more he sounds like a clone of Obama..the GOP has this exact issue right now(Gun Control) to show us where they stand..do they stand for freedom or will they cower and do the liberals bidding..this one issue will confirm everything I need to know about the GOP..if they have ANY balls left they better defend the 2nd Amendment
