Vice President Biden suggested Wednesday that the White House could take unilateral action on gun control, as he kicked off a round of meetings aimed at finding ways to curb gun violence.
The vice president met Wednesday with gun-safety and victims groups, saying he is "determined" to take "urgent action" to address gun violence. "This is not an exercise in photo opportunities or just getting to ask you all what your opinions are. We are vitally interested in what you have to say," Biden said.
The White House has sought to avoid prejudging what Biden's recommendations would be. But the vice president hinted Wednesday that executive action -- action by the president in which Congress would not have a say -- would indeed be involved.

Note that the peeps can act independently too.
Obama/Biden, if they take this action...
Fellow Freepers, I just got off the phone with my state-level Senator and Congressman. I suggested that my state (Pa)take the initiative and tell Obama that any executive order that he pronounces that erodes any of our Constitutional rights be declared an unlawful order at the state level and will not be observed or enforced. I think it’s time to start pressing our states to stand up for us, since our federal representatives seem to lose their ability to reason when they hit D.C.
Looks like the Federal Courts in DC will be busy for the next 4 years.
Joe says many stupid things. I think he was kicked in the head by a mule when he was a child.
Impeach the whole damn bunch of them!!!!!!
I think we are creeping faster and faster towards exactly that... action by the people.
Walmart needs to be watched closely, as well as these foundations and big business and even the National Chamber of Commerce, as they are being squeezed to comply, cooperate and cave to pressure for dashing the 2A. If these businesses resist, then comes the executive order against gun rights and freedom.
We are prepared to respond with boycotts, at minimum, presumably?
Resist we NOT much yet.
OK everyone raise your hands, who didnt see this coming because I think we ALL did
I dare Biden and Obama to do this, I double dog dare them, they want a revolution they are about to get one
We the people need to show the world what happens when the Constution is messed with...
And Congress needs to tell the American people - you can ignore such blatantly unconstitutional actions.
Cause a Constitutional crisis - it is about time.
I’m holding my Smith & Wesson stock. For now.
LOCK N LOAD!!!
LLS
We'd be in a much better position to prevail.
Any executive order will not ban anything. It will likely address background and mental health checks. I already have to deal with background checks where I live. Not a big deal IF you keep your nose clean.
I too can act without congress.
