Lawmakers "will pay a price—a political price ... for not getting engaged and dealing with gun safety."

Two months after the Senate failed to support the expansion of background checks for gun purchasers despite intense pressure from the administration, victims rights groups and others, the White House announced on Tuesday that the issue remains a top priority for the administration and its supporters in Congress and elsewhere.

"This fight isn’t over. Far from it," Biden said.

Before Biden's remarks, the White House, in an attempt to demonstrate commitment to the issue of reducing gun violence, announced on Tuesday that the administration has completed or made progress—Biden later described it as "major progress"—on 21 out of 23 executive actions.

He’s right. But not the way he expects.

He's right about that. Record firearms sales and the AR types were, at one point, nearly impossible to find. Be careful what change you wish for, Joe.

“I don’t have to listen to your phone calls to know what you’re doing. If I know every single phone call you’ve made, I’m able to determine every single person you talk to; I can get a pattern about your life that is very, very intrusive. The real question here is what do they do with this information that they collect that does not have anything to do with al-Qa’ida? ... But this idea that ... we’re going to trust the president and vice president of the United States that we’re doing the right thing — don’t count me in on that.” then-Senator Joe Biden in 2006
