Biden Holds Unannounced Meeting With Faith Leaders…on Gun Control

Following controversial comments alleging that President Barack Obama will potentially rely upon “executive orders” to tackle gun control, Vice President Joe Biden held an unannounced meeting with faith leaders on Wednesday where he purportedly reiterated the same point.

The nation’s second-in-command and his gun violence team discussed the issues surrounding firearms and the country’s most recent crises with 12 national faith leaders in an effort to urge them to “help find common sense solutions.”

During the event, Biden reportedly echoed what he told reporters earlier in the day — that the Obama administration will be taking two tracks to curb gun violence and, coincidentally, ownership. In addition to working with Congress and relying upon a legislative track, the vice-president, again, said that Obama will use unilateral control through executive action. This latter avenue will be taken more quickly, as the president has the ability to more swiftly enact regulations.

CNN has more about the topics of discussion that were on the table during the faith-based discussion:

In the meeting, he did not offer specifics on what type of measures the committee was contemplating. The topics of background checks, assault weapon bans and mental health were discussed, and the vice president mentioned those three as some of the most talked about subjects so far in his various committee sessions...

The marxist tyrant and his cronies are about to get their arses kicked...politically speaking, of course.

"It was Sunday morning early in the year 1776. In the church where Pastor Muhlenberg preached, it was a regular service for his congregation, but a quite different affair for Muhlenberg himself. Muhlenberg's text for the day was Ecclesiastes 3 where it explains, 'To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven; a time to be born, and a time to die, a time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted...'"

"Coming to the end of his sermon, Peter Muhlenberg turned to his congregation and said, 'In the language of the holy writ, there was a time for all things, a time to preach and a time to pray, but those times have passed away.' As those assembled looked on, Pastor Muhlenberg declared, 'There is a time to fight, and that time is now coming!' Muhlenberg then proceeded to remove his robes revealing, to the shock of his congregation, a military uniform."

"Marching to the back of the church he declared, 'Who among you is with me?' On that day 300 men from his church stood up and joined Peter Muhlenberg. They eventually became the 8th Virginia Brigade fighting for liberty."

"Frederick Muhlenberg, Peter's brother, was against Peter's level of involvement in the war. Peter responded to Frederick writing, 'I am a Clergyman it is true, but I am a member of the Society as well as the poorest Layman, and my Liberty is as dear to me as any man, shall I then sit still and enjoy myself at Home when the best Blood of the Covenant is spilling? ...So far am I from thinking that I act wrong, I am convinced it is my duty to do so and duly I owe to God and my country."

Hitler's favorite bible verse, Romans 13:1, was also misused by "clergy response teams" that went door to door during hurrican Katrina. The CRT's were followed by swat teams who DISARMED EVERYONE, including those in unaffected homes.

We have no king, we in America are to submit to our Constitution !!

From Obama's acorn does the mighty oak of Thor regrow. What would Boniface do ?

Let me guess....the Muslims will be exempt based on religious freedom.

Probably the same "faith leaders" who support gay marriage.

All your guns are belong to us..........give em up you Tea Bag, NRA whackos. The 2nd Ammendment is just silly old history. /sarc

[Fido969]

The Episcopal Church, which is the denomination of the National Cathedral has held up as a moral example a pastor who has committed adultery and fornication,l and lied about it.

Why did they chose this immoral man as a moral “example”? Because he was a homosexual.

You can BET you'll be hearing from Episcopal leaders in this “discussion”.

Expect a LOT of NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would these be the same "faith leaders" whose business minded members are being forced to support contraception and abortion? Somehow, I doubt it.

It would appear that all of our rights are to be traded off to support various government programs which are apparently more important than the liberty bought for us by our Founders at the price of blood and treasure.

Must we pay again?
