Biden warns Congress on gun reform: ‘You will pay a price’

Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday, seeking to revive efforts to pass gun-reform legislation in Congress, warned lawmakers opposed to reform that Americans aren't on their side.

"The country has changed" since the deadly shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., Biden said during remarks delivered on Tuesday afternoon in the White House's South Court auditorium. 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. The actions were produced by a gun violence task force the vice president led after the Newtown shooting and were issued by President Barack Obama in January.....

This is such a loser issue for the left, and it nearly always has been. I can’t believe even Biden is dumb enough to tout this nonsense at this point.

Trying to decide here which is more hilarious: when JoJo makes a threat, or when JoJo makes a gaffe.

Biden is clearly heading down the same road of mental illness that Al Gore took.

At some point we will need to get a message to "plugs" that there is no great groundswell for destroying gun owner rights. In fact, there's currently a groundswell underway for eliminating anti-knife and anti-sword laws!

The New Town CT experience seems to have heightened people's interest in SELF DEFENSE and making that as simple and easy as possible.

It's pretty clear the cops can't even protect third graders locked up in school ~ why we imagine they can protect the rest of us is a good question ~ and apparently the answer is they can't!

Is it politically incorrect to call someone an “idiot” or “Moron”? Both terms used to have medical definitions and were in wide use in the medical community—pre-1960s.

It is gonna take a whole lot of voter fraud to get rid of pro-2nd legislators. Maybe that’s the reason they are pushing amnesty so hard—lots of new bodies to stand in line (without having to prove who they are)...

You notice Bill Maher never calls Biden retarded?

Compared to Bill Maher, Biden is a stellar genius.

What’s worse: A brain that moves at lightening speed in the wrong direction; or a brain that remains at stasis in all conditions?

I say they are BOTH retarded.

Make gun trafficking a federal crime?? Where has this moron been all his life? Gun trafficking has been a federal crime since the days of Al Capone. That’s one of the reasons why the Federal Government created the BATF. Shut up and sit down, Biden. You make a fool of yourself every time you open your mouth.
