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.”

He had no problem ordering people at gunpoint to do business with his campaign contributors or have their assets seized and put in jail. Save me the prattle about that being okay because he did it at the state level. State level thugs graduate to federal level thugs quite easily.
And what part of "shall not be infringed" blew past you? He banned gun ownership in his state. Period. Own one of the scary looking guns, and he puts you in a cage and you become a fellon for life. That's your boy. He would be doing it to you right now if he had been elected.
You might be a duh-uh,sos leftie if you are unable to discern that not-so-subtle difference.
Yeah, I'm a lefty because I refused to vote for the liberal, anti gun, pro abortion architect of the new healthcare law...or obama. Yeah, guess I missed that clear difference. (That last sentence was sarcasm...btw)
With each passing day I am starting to wonder how long the USA will last. We may very well see a break up of this country in our lifetimes.
Exactly. The Republic may fall and two-thirds of this important thread/subject is childish bickering about the election. What a waste of energy.
Except, of course, the law that trumps all their little executive orders: the 2nd Amendment. Go ahead and ready your treasonous decrees, a*****es. Patriots are also readying themselves -- by the millions.
His own son said he didn’t want to be President. We are all still waiting on him to start his campaign too.
Apparatchik (Russian: аппара́тчик, Russian pronunciation: [ɐpɐˈratɕɪk] plural apparatchiki, often pronounced as "apparatsjik" in Western-Europe.) is a Russian colloquial term for a full-time, professional functionary of the Communist Party or government;
Hey Comrades:
Yes.
Principle does matter but its too late to argue about it in the general election. The time to talk principle is now until the primaries.
Stamping your feet in a temper tantrum in the general election only results in the reelection of Obama and we get these 19 executive orders.
So congrats, you and 3 million others stood on principle and our nation will fall as a result.
A couple of years ago, I was on a silent women’s retreat over at a retreat house in Farmington, CT, and I had gotten an opportunity to walk down “Old Main Street” in Farmington, CT. Saw an old home that went back to colonial times and it was cited as a landmark in the famous “underground railroad” in the years just before the civil war.
The best I can make from that is that it will require ransom notes, where the letters are clipped from magazines, to be of a certain length.
My guess is as a muslim. He’ll be collecting a multi-million dollar payment from Riyadh as soon as he’s out of office.
It’s from the TV show, “Jericho,” I’ll have to look when I get back from work.
You purists sit back and say I told you so and say facts are facts but you don’t DO anything. Purists in Congress do not last long. Look at Santorum and West, both good people but they get outmaneuvered and end up losing elections. Heck even Palin hasn’t stepped back into the ring.
To win elections you have to appeal to the people. Those people have been educated by socialists in public schools and don’t understand your message.
People like you are out there waiting for perfection while the enemy continues their march to take over the nation. Name one single time in the last 200 years your approach has beat back the enemy.
I can name a whole bunch of times where the marxists won using the very same tactics Obama is using against the purists.
“He’ll be collecting a multi-million dollar payment from Riyadh as soon as he’s out of office.”
IMO he’s already getting paid but he might have a big payoff coming.
There was a direct link between the muslims and the nazi’s. Soros was connected to the nazi’s and is now connected with Obama, and the Muslims.
Very good. Don’t attack the RATS with most of the power, control of the executive branch, the courts, and the senate. Attack his opponents; decent republicans, the majority of which always oppose gun jacking.
Selective enforcing of the laws they like and not enforcing the ones they don’t.””
Yep, 10 million criminal aliens run free while laws will be enforced against the taxpayers and citizens. It is like a foreign power has jacked our government and is going after US citizens like a pack of jackels.
Crickets chirping on all the other so called US House of Representatives!

If you won’t stand-up, why do you think they will?
Let's not forget the millions of Americans who have remained silent and uninvolved while our school system devolved into an industry of social indoctrination.
The president is the one who proposes the budget. The house allocates the funds—that is the law, but the african bastard in power doesn’t follow the law.
