Vice President Joseph R. Biden said Tuesday the fight for Congressional action on gun legislation is far from over as he outlined a subset of executive actions the Obama administration has taken to reduce gun violence in the wake of the Connecticut school shootings in December.
The address was simultaneously a summary of what President Obama has been able to do since the shootings in Newtown, Conn., and a rallying cry to remind voters and lawmakers that neither he nor Mr. Obama will let the issue fade from public memory.
“We got a majority, but not the supermajority needed,” he said, referring to a measure to expand gun-purchase background checks that failed in the Senate in April even though it never had a chance in the House where Democrats are the minority.
“We will get it. We will be back. And we will, in fact, improve the lives and safety of all the children in America who should look at school as the safest place in the world they can be,” he said.
Mr. Biden said the shooting deaths of 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School was “the straw that broke the camel’s back” in the gun debate, and that those who stand in the way will now pay a political price.

In this, as in everything else, the watchword of the Obama administration is, and always has been, “F*** the constitution, what WE want is what WE want.”

Well I dunno - the family got together and bought dad a Remington 770 300mag rifle for Dad’s Day - plus three boxes of ammunition that ran $55 a box.
what crime wave
Sorry Nazi Joe. You’re going to have to fight your way through a lot of Americans before we’ll let you confiscate our guns.
They must keep Biden focused on Gun Control ,don’t want him finding out about all these scandals, LOL
I think Biden is needed in Syria stat. He can take McCain with him and the two of them can bring peace to the world...
What’s Biden going to do, call the NSA and ask for more blackmail material? It worked for 0bamacare!
The will of the people, and the Constitution, be damned.
I’m not so sure they will try this close to the 2014 elections.
yes you will, joey. yes you will.
I’ll bet you’re right. There are still too many Americans living in this country and we know what the Bill of Rights is all about.
And of course we should all believe the master prevaricator, he is a master of other things too, but none of them seem to be the truth.
That is how you know Sandy Hook is a hoax.
Hey Biden: You can K M A and then go to Hell.
FU Biden. You’re not getting sh*t.
