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.”

“..that is why we couldn’t get a TRUE Conservative to run or even have a chance to win..the media chose the candidate in 2008 and they did it again in 2012”
And THAT is why it must stop with us who believe ourselves to be the base of conservatism. If we do not support and vote for conservative, who will?
They can’t hear you. They’re too busy getting ready for their inauguration parties.
If they end up objecting to anything he does, they’ll put themselves at ease by blaming the right.
The media has a lot of power in this country..the majority of Americans know the media is full of dog doo but they run the narrative and people fall for it every single time. The GOP has the elitists pricks who need to be purged BADLY from the GOP..because they are Dems just better dressed
Another “real enemy” is people who don’t deal in reality. Like Rush says, “I live in Realsville.” The failure of folks like yourself to live there has given us a second term of Obama. How’s that workin’ out for you? At least we tried to remove a Marxist. What did you do? Nothing but have a little pity party because you candidate didn’t win. You folks are shameless.
Say, you aren’t....you know...married or anything are you? Because I think love you ;)
Point out the error in my statement. Just one.
I’ll wait.
No, in fact there are possibly millions of union, Democrat gun owners just as pissed off as we are.
“Point out the error in my statement. Just one.
I’ll wait.”

A second term of Obama.
Their “Final Solution” for the country and its patriots.
Yup. And I don’t see them giving up their guns any time soon either.
Not gonna bode well if the Dems push it.
I have not been willing to give up principle. We fought for whom we believed would do the best for our country. At the end of the campaign we faced bad choices. Obama or Romney. A third party vote was truly wasted, even though those who cast it might feel good about what they did. Had Romney been elected, to some extent we would likely be in a 2nd Amendment battle after Newtown. But I do not believe that Romney would have 19 points and use executive orders to subvert the Constitution. He would hear from those who put him in office -— us. I would gladly man the bullhorn at the front of the protest. I saw a choice between someone who actually understands economics and wants America to succeed and a guy who hates America and wants it to fail. In my opinion, too many people stayed home because they refused to see the danger posed by four more years of Obama. He didn’t even wait until the inauguration.
We really are not on different sides here.
You are right, God, Reagan, the founding fathers, the Constitution and I are wrong.
Hmmmm... Ah...no. Try again. In fact, try addressing my original issues a couple pages back that you totally ignored.
Actually don’t bother. Some people just can’t face the fact they are wrong.
Conservatives didn't lose this election ~ RINOs did ~ and they lost the last one as well.
They are afraid of voting against their pet negro!
Remember, there's more going on in politics than just an intra Republican dispute between patriots and enemy aliens. We have this leftover baggage from the past who are afraid to say bad words.
You'll have to go tell them about it but I'm afraid they don't post at FreeRepublic.
Still, I"ve long suspected that they have their agents who like to come in here and badmouth patriots ~ this 'na na na na na you didn't vote for Romney' crp is obviously part of that.
Nope not married..I am a single chick :-) you know hard it is finding a single Conservative dude in this state..like finding a needle in a haystack literally
Yeah but they will continue to vote Democrat
Yep, I'm so glad we didn't get Romney......*Phew*, we surely dodged a bullet with him not being elected, why we might be talking about taking away guns or something....../s
Molon effen Labe hussein!
There are no easy answers here. But he'd still go for disarmament and registration ~ and leaving the children unguarded.
The gloves are off. Governors need to step up and rally the people. Absent this leadership we are certain to be steered into the abyss shortly. HOLD FAST.
Doug, I don’t think we are either. But until you accept the reality that the election of all these compromise candidates led to Obama’s BS, we cannot have a meeting of the minds.
You cannot rationally argue that Bhoner and his ilk do not give away the store. Because they do and their record shows it. And the collective ‘we’ put them in DC with our votes.
During this election and every other people screamed we HAD to vote for these unprincipled idiots. You know that’s the truth. And the excuse is always the devil in Dem clothing is worse. Sure it’s worse.
How much? We are about to hit a Constitutional crisis in several areas...financial, 2A and elsewhere SOLELY because the Republicans that WE collectively elected, KNOWING they were anything but men of principle, refused to exercise their constitutional power and rein that bastard in.
So if we elect MORE unprincipled idiots, why expect anything different?
It does not GET worse than its getting and the GOP is NOT stopping it. They are causing it.
It has to stop Doug. People have to vote for what they believe in, not what they hope the blue Fairy will wave a wand and grant them magically.
We do it starting now, or accept that we get more of the same.
And if you can prove any mistakes in my reasoning, no split hairs BS, I will publicly apologize and shut up.
