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."

“He must do something to protect our children.”
Then he should ban abortion.
What do you think Barry would do if nobody obeyed his so-called Executive order?
The question is ..Are there enough Senators and Congressmen with the ‘nads to do something about it?
No. Party loyalty trumps everything.
The sad thing is that if the republicans take control of the senate and impeachment is possible, and a republican is elected president in 2016 he’ll say “We need to move forward”. obama and his ilk will get away with all they’ve done and all they’re going to do.
Nope. And expect more school shootings and like incidents. It won’t end until we fight. The other side smells victory.
Just like Clinton did. Based on what happened in 2012, I don’t see the Republicans taking control of the Senate in 2014 and I do not believe that obama will leave the White House when his 2012 to 2016 term expires.
Libs thought the same thing about Bush.
When blood is shed, they will be the ones to draw the first drop from me. But that is all they'll get as far as it's in my power.
But I think that we largely have a coward presidency. If we don't blink, and don't back down, they won't push the issue.
Well, he's not a 'dictator' ya know.
Time to bring out the bumper stickers: “He’s not MY president!!”
NOT SOON ENOUGH!
Someone better put the Boy King on a short leash, because if it turns out to be us, it won’t be pretty.
He never was mine.
Send that one back and get one that’s spelled correctly.
stakeholders?
Bloods and Crips?
I don’t get the all the pubbies bowing down to EOs. Everytime he pens one they should defund his entourage...... It makes me sick.
Seems to me Obama’s anger is contrived.
No, it’s real. He’s not getting his way. Now comes the revenge.
I bought my AR-15 to stop those who want to take my AR-15.
No, actually. EOs are normally used to provide direction in the areas where the executive branch already has discretion, either inherently or via powers granted by Congress. The little-used "confirmation" of EOs by Congress (in actually, only used to un-confirm, so to speak, everything else is just left without comment or action) would allow Congress to object if it thinks the President is overstepping his authority.
