Biden: W.H. readies 19 executive actions on guns By: Reid J. Epstein January 14, 2013 06:49 PM EST
The White House has identified 19 executive actions for President Barack Obama to move unilaterally on gun control, Vice President Joe Biden told a group of House Democrats on Monday, the administrations first definitive statements about its response to last months mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Later this week, Obama will formally announce his proposals to reduce gun violence, which are expected to include renewal of the assault weapons ban, universal background checks and prohibition of high-capacity magazine clips. But Biden, who has been leading Obamas task force on the response, spent two hours briefing a small group of sympathetic House Democrats on the road ahead in the latest White House outreach to invested groups.
The focus on executive orders is the result of the White House and other Democrats acknowledging the political difficulty of enacting any new gun legislation, a topic Biden did not address in Mondays meeting.
It was all focusing on enforcing existing law, administering things like improving the background database, things like that that do not involve a change in the law but enforcing and making sure that the present law is administered as well as possible, said Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.).
But Biden did indicate that the remains of the Obama campaign apparatus may be activated in the effort.
He said that this has been a real focus on the policy and that the politics of this issue, that a strategy on the politics of the issue hasnt been undertaken yet, Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) told POLITICO. He did remind us that the campaign infrastructure is still accessible.

This is the communist second wet dream, the first has been expertly shoved down the throats of every American, Socialist Health Care, now, the communist second wet dream:
Universal firearm prohibition in the United States of America!
I find in ironic that most Americans including the NRA supported preventing felons (who had served their time and paid their debt to society) from possessing firearms, this gave the communist a foot in the door for gun control. Now that the same communist are coming for so called honest Americans firearms, all hell is breaking out (as it should), like no one saw this coming? (Mission creeping) Gun control is a double edge sword, it certainly cuts both ways, while it sounds great for convicted felons; did not one single American see that the communist were coming for everyone firearms, not just the convicted felons? Fool me once . . .
Thanks to all here who wanted to stop the Mormon. Thanks to those who went 3rd Party - how did that Gary Johnson or Tom Hoefling vote work out? Look where we are now.””
I blew this whistle long before the election. The rats and their media cleverly split their opposition. Bo’s opponents are in disarray. We still have a contingent on FR that mostly attack Bo’s opponents. Most republicans continue a long tradition of opposing gun jacking.

10 million criminal aliens walk free. Bo turns his hatefilled vengence on US citizens and will enforce laws against them. The gun thing was pre-planned for his second term and they had calculated there would be a school shooting at some point that would serve their purpose.
“....and they had calculated there would be a school shooting at some point that would serve their purpose...”
You need to replace the word, “calculated” with “orchestrated”. This was all to convenient. Another Fast & Furious operation? I would not doubt it a bit.
If the dictator even tries this, the Republicans have a duty to draw up impeachment papers for abuse of executive power, and possibly treason (weakening the American citizens ability to defend his/herself from the criminal elements).
Ditto: it is down to resist or submit to the criminals in power.
And Norm (and his ilk) will fall for them every time because he's nothing but an Axelrod conservative using the disguise of purity and "principle"; his responsibility for this monster being elected for the second time is all over him like egg on someones face, yet he preens around as if it's a good thing he's done. Every week the monster will do stuff like this attempt to ram gun control down our throats, the country will go down the drain and decline even faster while he sits there and claims some kind of victory for his stupidity.
It's sickening.
What will you do to stand up? Will you continue to badmouth Bo’s opponents?
low-level civil disobedience are useless at this time. High level resistance is the only way to get results.
local fish wrapper said he’s going ALL out for gun control!
Just what the old media and the kenyan maggot seek: to have good people attack his opponents. Why do you people fall in this trap? I don’t get it. The rats control the courts, the executive branch, and the senate. Most republicans have records of opposing gun jacking.
Certainly you have an arguable point.
Has anyone been calling Boeher or McConnel or ANY republican politician and asking them what they are going to do about protecting the Constitution, our freedom, liberty, the 2nd Amendment against socialist obozo?””
New Media Newsflash: Boehner and McConnell don’t hold the reins of power. Bo has the old media behind his rising dictatorship, he has the courts, he has the senate, and he has a substantial number of rats in the house. In short, he has 3 of the 4 aces in his hand.
The Republic may fall and two-thirds of this important thread/subject is childish bickering about the election. What a waste of energy.””
Thank you for focusing on what is important here.
Yea, thats the kind of people I want at my back.
And you're not going to have anybody at your back, pal. There will be no one left.
Agree, in fact isolated incidents would play into Obama's hands. That's why I said that massive civil disobedience is needed. Groups like the tea party network, the NRA and the GOA need to take the streets will millions of demonstrators around the White House rather than continuing to play negotiated defeat incrementalism by hoping to limit our defeat.
My quasi-communist candidates? What is wrong with you? Are you someone playing with a computer in your parents’ basement? Are you someone from the RAT underground just trying to cause trouble? I guess saying it all throughout the campaign was not good enough for some of you, so I will shout it again just for you. I WAS NOT A ROMNEY SUPPORTER. Are you capable of reading that and processing it? I WAS NOT A ROMNEY SUPPORTER. In fact, I was a Tea Party supporter. Romney was next to last on my list, just ahead of Ron Paul. Up until the day before the election, I was undecided whether to leave “President” blank on my ballot and just vote for conservatives and the most conservative propositions. After all, my vote on the national ticket didn’t really matter because California was not in play.
We had a very bad choice to make. Although my national vote didn’t matter, I did not want to be part of history that allowed Obama to win by even one more vote in the popular tally.
I don’t know why, but for some reason you have a need to misrepresent my position. There are many things wrong with Romney’s position, but Obama was unthinkable. Had Romney been elected, I would have been out in the street leading the charge to fight him where he was wrong. With Obama, we are going to get to the position where we are not allowed in the street to protest. We have never seen anyone like him. The danger he poses to this great republic is incalculable.
P.S. When you come back with a “grammer” comment, please at least spell “grammar” correctly. Are you not capable of even doing that? Besides characterizing yourself as a really petty and unlikable person, it makes you look even more foolish.
