Vice President Joe Biden “guaranteed” that President Barack Obama will pass sweeping gun control legislation by the end of January, according to Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino.
“He said, ‘Tommy, I guarantee you, we’ll get it done by the end of January,’” Menino reportedly said at City Hall on Thursday. “They’re going to get it done.”
Menino, a leading gun control advocate, has been recovering from a myriad of health issues over the last two months, but said Biden has called him a number of times while he was in the hospital. One of the calls came after the Newtown, Conn. school shooting and concerned gun control, the Boston Herald reports.
“I understand the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms. But I don’t understand how young kids should be able to get guns,” Menino said, adding that Obama has “no excuse not to pass strong legislation.”

Obama is President (unfortunately), not King (unless we allow him to be).
It's the alcohol, right?
Ain’t gonna happen........Too many folks up for re-election in 2014.........
The Present and Congers share authority under the law and can bring it to a big screeching halt any time they wish.
See Tommy...here's how it works. We're gonna get this dirtbag to shoot up a school and before the funerals are done they'll be beggin' us for gun control. If not we got plenty more schools, and movies and malls...you name it! Sooner or later we win, Tommy. I guarantee it.
Obummer the Kenyan can’ pass anything but $hit!Takes the House and Senate to pass anything . If they know what’s good for them they will back off !
A dictator always has a “rubber stamp” legislative body. They’re all afraid of him. Look at the people wetting their pants when Hussein (Saddam from Iraq, not the one in the white house) was calling legislators’ names to be taken out and shot.
Time for another “shot heard around the world”. They can’t kill all of us - uh, well maybe they can, but it may take awhile.
‘But I don’t understand how young kids should be able to get guns’
First off, Lanza was a 20 yo adult, not a kid.
Secondly, what part of the fact that he killed his mother to gain control of these weapons does this liberal not understand?
Short of confiscation, there is/are no laws that would have stopped this massacre.
Interesting how one hears nothing about how poorly the children were protected from such an event. Might have to hold someone accountable.
Yeah....
I will not comply.
Not now. Not then. Not ever.
I’m done messing around.
NOTHING as contentious as gun control gets through the congress in two weeks, not now, not ever. I could take the time to explain the entire committee process and how the leadership can prevent any bill from not making it to the floor simply by not putting it on the calendar, and how the committee that would draft such a bill is stacked with a majority of pro-gun Republican's. But why bother? Some would rather run for the bomb shelter and declare the battle lost before even one shot is fired than do something constructive like keep the pressure of their Representatives and monitor the progress of any bill introduced in the House and Senate.
“Obama has “no excuse not to pass strong legislation.”
Except that he’s not in Congress and doesn’t pass ANY laws.
Presidents don't pass anything except gas.
He can’t guarantee anything except Boehner begging for his love. An EO, however, he can guarantee.
I hate to tell Joe that Barry does not have the authority to pass any kind of legislation. Neither branch of Congress is in the mood for gun control as they all know the mood of the country is not for gun control.
Diane Feinstein has been submitting gun control bills for years. She will submit her new one and it will go into committee and die there. I doubt there are even enough Dems willing to vote for it in the Senate. Harry Reid would be jeopardizing his next election by bringing it to the floor for a vote. Even if it passed the House would kill it.
100 million Americans already have guns, high capcity mags and loads of ammo. The horse is already out of the barn and its not going back in.
Still in all we should contact our senators and reps and let them know they better not even think about voting for any of this stuff.
We should force that issue on the Democrats and their runningdog lackeys. Tell us why these two pukes were talking about guns and Newtown before the shooting.
If they think Todd Akin's views were unpopular, just wait until they see how "unpopular" dems will be when they try to take away guns.
Let the libs OWN this. My wife's family are all democrat gun owners, and they are VERY serious about the second amendment. To the point that they would gasp, vote for a republican over this very issue.
It means that much to them.
(If you guessed Boehner, you are correct.)
.
If there where no guns, he would have used a bomb.
If he couldn’t get a bomb, he would have used a car.
No car, he would have used an ax.
If he couldn’t find an ax, he would have used a knife.
No knife, he would have used a hammer.
Crazy people hellbent on causing harm will cause harm until they are stopped.
