Vice President Biden pledged Wednesday that President Obama will bypass a reluctant Republicans in Congress and take executive action to curb gun violence, prompting a full-blown fit from conservative gun rights backers.
Biden heads a White House task force set this month to release proposals in response to the Newtown shooting. He told reporters before a Wednesday meeting with gun violence victims and gun control groups that Obama will not let Republican resistance prevent action.
"The president is going to act. There are executives orders, there's executive action that can be taken," Biden said. "We haven't decided what that is yet." Biden said Obama will also offer legislative proposals.
The Vice President's remarks set a tough tone ahead of another meeting Thursday with pro-gun organizations including the National Rifle Association and Wal-Mart, the nation's leading seller of firearms.
"I want to make clear that we're not going to get caught up in the notion that, unless we can do everything, were going to do nothing," said Biden, who was joined at the meeting by Attorney General Eric Holder.

They are losing and they know it.

I think the grabbers are soon to be amazed they are leading on this issue without the masses in-tow.
The masses are pissed and now know for a fact which party is after their 2A rights. Will they remember this in 2014 or 2016? Will the pubbies be smart enough to remind them?
Hey Joe, don't you mean "El Presidente"?
Keep your powder dry and be ready to lock and load.

Yeah. I just wish the GOP in DC would go on the offensive.
Make no mistake, Obama's going to try doing this by executive fiat, the TYRANT!
"At that moment we no longer live in the America we grew up in, but in tyranny and oppression."
IMHO, we already live in an America far different than the America we grew up in.
With Obama, tyranny and oppression can only get worse.

1. Joe is a drunken stupid lying idiot.
ObaMao has already crossed the anti free speech threshold. Remember his director of whitehut communication requesting forwarding private emails to them from anyone criticizing their takeover of healthcare... among other usurpations.
For those who were not around or who were not paying attention, back in the 1980’s, Joe Biden was one of those far-left aholes like Metzenbaum that proposed gun-control laws every month.
It was one of his pet projects and it drained a lot of money and resources and diplomatic leeway from the NRA.
They have been trying for decades to kill the 2nd Amendment by a thousand nicks.
Now they are just going for the Taliban-style beheading.
What do you mean may?
Someone should make a movie about it.
“Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kinda cool.”
> How to describe a tyrant:
“The prince’s will has the force of law.”
more like Satan’s will has the force of law and it’s obvious he’s backing Obama’s efforts all the way. I’ve never seen anyone that has events line up to fit his agendas the way they do or the ability to control weak minded fools the way he does. He has someone’s “blessing” and I know it ain’t God’s

As long as it’s the kind of cement job Jimmy Hoffa got....
First they need to restrict the ability to executive by the the president; it’s obvious there’s not enough checks and balances in this regard.
