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.

We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately
(and hello yerself ;-)
Save your milk-toast, cower in the corner BS for someone else. Not playing that game anymore.
And that person said it much better than I did. I really mean this, this is our reality and it is not a good one. Together, we stand a chance, divided, none.

there’s a texan rep that says he will file articles of impeachment. it was on drudge
So is my wife.
Legislate! Legislate!
Piss on the Constitution

“Calling holding self-proclaimed conservative’s feet to the fire where their votes and actions are concerned “cutting the legs out from under fellow Patriots” is a gross mis-characterization worthy of the RINOs in our party. “
For years we have been promised that ‘feet would be held to fire’ if only we go along to get along and ‘keep our powder dry for later”.
But when feet get held to fire, people scream.
What? Isn’t this exactly what they wanted? Or was that just supposed to be ‘feel-good’ rhetoric to pacify people into ‘keeping their powder dry” like everything else coming out of the GOP?
When EXACTLY is “LATER”?
Tell me PG, if the supposed conservative base does not have their own feet held to the fire BY THEIR OWN, what in the name of Jesus Christ Crucified makes you think we as conservatives have the ‘right’ to hold anyone else’s ‘feet to the fire’, ESPECIALLY those who are elected to exert our will?
I eagerly await your or anyone else’s answer.
“And you’re not going to have anybody at your back, pal. There will be no one left. “
Thanks to all the spineless Repubs that the go along win at any cost crowd ‘won’ for us, that’s very true.
Congrats.
And I can’t rely on sycophants anyway. In fact, one wants me burned in an oven. Hardly the trustworthy type.
Remember, when they say gun VIOLENCE they mean gun OWNERSHIP.
This is an important point that needs reiterated early and often.
Do NOT pay attention to their details. Arguing about the size of a magazine or what constitutes a "military feature" is simply falling for 0's 3-card monty.
At the very end, after all the inflammatory, egregious suggestions, will be slipped in something about "common sense weapons tracking." That is to say: registration.
That is the goal. Information. Tracking. And then, as ever through history, demonization, confiscation, slaughter, terror and tyranny.
Do not forget this. Do not be misled.
You’re a lucky man.
I’m not playing your game. I can assure, as a former college wrestler, you have no idea. Your assessment is way off target. You would do better to pick high level targets that make up the tyranny proponents. I am just telling you, bloviating on this site ain’t gonna accomplish anything and belittling Bo’s opposition won’t either.
Tell me, what will you do to stand up?
"Dont attack the RATS with most of the power,..."
You seem to think that pubbies ought to be immune from repercussions. You'll lose that debate.
Thanks for posting them, Travis...

You have simply bought Bo’s line to attack his opposition. I won’t fall into that RAT trap. He has divided and conquered his opposition very effectively using his left-wing media allies.
That is, Republican Representative Steve Stockman of Texas, AND Republican Representative Trey Radel of Florida.
We must continue to call, fax these politicians and demand that they join forces with other politicians who WILL file articles of impeachment against obozo. There must be more politicians out there, like these two good men, who have the fire in their bellies and the balls to do the same. It is up to us to push forward, call, fax and show these politicians WE MEAN IT, and they should, too. This IS our job, one of the most important of the moment, and it IS something we CAN do.
The you've fallen into a different one. The pubbies are playing straight-man in this scam. You've been had.
