Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday, seeking to revive efforts to pass gun-reform legislation in Congress, warned lawmakers opposed to reform that Americans aren't on their side.
"The country has changed" since the deadly shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., Biden said during remarks delivered on Tuesday afternoon in the White House's South Court auditorium. Lawmakers "will pay a pricea political price ... for not getting engaged and dealing with gun safety."
Two months after the Senate failed to support the expansion of background checks for gun purchasers despite intense pressure from the administration, victims rights groups and others, the White House announced on Tuesday that the issue remains a top priority for the administration and its supporters in Congress and elsewhere.

“More Chicago-style intimidation tactics.”
More like Joe The Mental Biden’s stab at it.
“This fight isnt over. Far from it,” Biden said.
He’s right. But not the way he expects.
Neil Kinnock is,at this moment,looking through transcripts of his old speeches to see if Plugs lifted *this* one too.
He's right about that. Record firearms sales and the AR types were, at one point, nearly impossible to find. Be careful what change you wish for, Joe.
Biden accidently stumbles into the truth : )
Bite Me still using his gun control memory card ,someone should change it for him
” Neil Kinnock is,at this moment,looking through transcripts of his old speeches to see if Plugs lifted *this* one too.”
LOL!
Is this the guy who made a mockery of the debates by laughing the entire time because he knew all along 0bama was going to steal the election?
In other words, you’ve all been blackmailed.
not heard that name in years
Okay, how many of you FReepers are hanging around Yahoo? The comments are running 99% against Joe “Plugs” Biden. Good job, people.
Only way the country has changed on guns is now they can’t find the ammo they want, demand is so high.
As usual, some of Joe’s plugs aren’t firing.
I can’t say what I really think, believe, hope and pray.
I dont have to listen to your phone calls to know what youre doing. If I know every single phone call youve made, Im able to determine every single person you talk to; I can get a pattern about your life that is very, very intrusive. The real question here is what do they do with this information that they collect that does not have anything to do with al-Qaida? ... But this idea that ... were going to trust the president and vice president of the United States that were doing the right thing dont count me in on that. then-Senator Joe Biden in 2006
