Biden: 'The President Is Already Lining Up Some Additional Executive Actions' for Guns

Joe Biden says the president of the United States is preparing to take "executive actions" to deal with guns.

BuzzFeed reports:

Vice President Biden told White House allies in the gun control fight Thursday that President Obama will be announcing new executive actions on gun violence in the days after the Senate voted down a gun violence bill.

On a conference call with "stakeholders," Biden told gun control advocates that the fight is not over and that eventual action on gun control will come. Press were not invited to the conference call; a participant provided BuzzFeed with access.

"Look I know you're going to say that I'm just being an optimist and I'm trying to put a good face on this. But you know I've been around here a long time and we've already done, because of you, some really good things," Biden said. "Number one, the president is already lining up some additional executive actions he's going to be taking later this week."

You really didn't think it was over, did you?

LAME DUCK

[Blood of Tyrants]

Reid has officially pulled the gun control bill. As of now it is dead or at least unconscious.

[Jane Long]

Reid has officially pulled the gun control bill. As of now it is dead or at least unconscious.

And King 0 will do his level best to resuscitate with EO's.

[Abby4116]

I thought the executive orders were for things of an emergency nature, used until congress could pass a law on same.

Everything with this administration is an "executive order".

[BerniesFriend]

He is going to eo gun control..I hope I am wrong..if he does..the House MUST impeach the man-child..the Constitution does not give the President an eraser so that he can omit amendments to suit his wishes..if we don’t stop him now, what next?..the 22nd amendment?..stay in office for life?..

[Slyfox]

It sounds like the king is trying to exert his will on the people, whether we want it or not.

Somebody punch my arm. Are we still in America?

[rcrngroup]

Reid has officially pulled the gun control bill. As of now it is dead or at least unconscious.

Were there two other amendments that were supposed to be voted on today? If so, I assume both of those were voted down as well?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Good. Then he can finally be impeached for violating his oath of office as well as a host of other charges.

[Puppage]

Everything with this administration is an "executive order" treasonous.

There, fixed it.

[fwdude]

We may soon be “taking some actions” against this traitor-in-chief if this unconstitutional, unconscionable farce continues too long.

[ltc8k6]

Well, Biden is well known to lie.

[yuleeyahoo]

Here’s a thought, how about an EO ordering the Executive branch to enforce the laws already on the books.

[listenhillary]

Keep digging. Some (sane) Democrats will denounce you.

[fwdude]

Were there two other amendments that were supposed to be voted on today? If so, I assume both of those were voted down as well?

Surprisingly, a pro-2nd Amendment amendment that protects state CHL holders' privacy from the federal government passed by a high percentage.

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

Any E.O. infringing upon the 2nd Amendment, without Consent of Congress or representation of the people is an impeachable offense of the highest order.

A man who would have the BATF export machine-guns to NarcoTrafficers, killing 300 Mexicans SO FAR, specifically to generate grisly murder headlines:

What would he NOT do...?

[Cboldt]

Both amendments passed. One was favorable to gun owners (it penalized states for giving up information), the other was just money for mental health care.

The amendments mean nothing if the bill doesn't pass, and the bill is being withdrawn from further consideration.
