Biden: Obama Considering 'Executive Order' to Deal With Guns
"The president is going to act," said Biden, giving some comments to the press before a meeting with victims of gun violence. "There are executives orders, there's executive action that can be taken. We haven't decided what that is yet. But we're compiling it all with the help of the attorney general and the rest of the cabinet members as well as legislative action that we believe is required."
Biden said that this is a moral issue and that "it's critically important that we act."
Biden talked also about taking responsible action. "As the president said, if you're actions result in only saving one life, they're worth taking. But I'm convinced we can affect the well-being of millions of Americans and take thousands of people out of harm's way if we act responsibly."
Biden, as he himself noted, helped write the Brady bill.
Eric Holder was scheduled to be at the meeting that's currently taking place at the White House.

“Make my day” was from “Sudden Impact”.
You’re thinking of, “Do you feel lucky?”
Leave it to a lost cause loser to try to defend the reprehensible Confederacy by linking a bunch of racist slavers, traitors, and terrorists to conservatives who are fighting for their freedom to self defense. Whose side are you really on?
No one forced them to fire the first shot. They chose to do it. Quit linking the Confederates to modern day conservatives.
Yes, my analogy of historic federal tyrrany to the events of today would be difficult to defend against the well articulated and fact based opinion that you posted. I am a very bad man so sorry to offend your firmly planted paradigm, drinks are on me
Well said!
As a result of their loss, certain positions on state's rights and property rights were forever weakened.
Our 2nd Amendment rights are currently under attack because a tiny minority of people were extremely irresponsible. The Confederacy is a classic example of a few people taking extreme action to defend the indefensible and ultimately ruining things for everyone.
Why don't you stand up for Adam Lanza and James Holmes, while you're at it?
Does anyone see the hypocrisy of DE Joe lecturing us on “moral issues”?
obviously the public school system brainwashed you well. You completly missed the part about the northern states dictating the price of cotton and went to the immediate knee jerk default position that the civil war was all about abolishing slavery, that is not the case AT ALL, it was one issue but not the main issue. when the south tried to sell its cotton to europe the Fed sent the Navy to blockade their ports.
The north also had slaves and at least as many racists. If the southern states had been submissive and continued to feed the noprthern cotton mills at whatever prices they set, the north would have been perfectly content to continue slavery
The issue of slavery was used as a tool to control the southern states. Yes slavery is heinous its great that it was abolished . I am wasting my time with this because this was not even the point and has become more of a personal attack because I have a different opinion based on clear thinking and not public school brainwashing to salute and worship the federal government.
When gun control is enacted incrementally by Obama , you will be considered a rebel, a terrorist, an evil racist and will be shot down or jailed if you try to protest (just like the south was for protesting against tyranny)
There will be a big monument to Obama in DC with a bronze plaque describing how Obama saved us from the evil conservative terrorists who tried to defend gun ownership so that people like Lanza could come and kill children but Obama saved us
obviously the public school system brainwashed you well
I went to Catholic schools.
this ... has become more of a personal attack
Yeah, thanks to you resorting to personal attacks.
If you consider people pointing out that you are being an apologist for racism and slavery a "personal attack," then stop being an apologist for racism and slavery.
You think like a liberal , just throw accusations out at random because you have no intellectual argument . You truly do Know it All so there is no point in having a discussion with your sealed liberal mind
Well, if the gray uniform fits... You are the one defending Democrats who tried to break this country apart so they could continue to treat human beings like animals.
Thank you. It is good to see someone who understands what I was saying.
