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 administration’s first definitive statements about its response to last month’s 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 Obama’s 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 Monday’s 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 hasn’t been undertaken yet,” Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) told POLITICO. “He did remind us that the campaign infrastructure is still accessible.”

I hope they pack a nice sack lunch...
....it will be a long afternoon... indeed.

Yeah, keep pretending they were the same, it'll make you so self righteous the whole time we circle the drain.

You believed that stupid report from the Boston Globe? You deserve to remain an idiot.

[Norm Lenhart]

So by arguing against ‘purity’ you must logically embrace it’s opposite. Corruption.

Swearing at me does not make me haZ a sad Lake. You should know that by now.

‘I don’t have a problem. I have a solution.

You don’t seem to like it. Why is that?”

Oh, you have a solution? Really? I guess part of your grand strategy was helping to hand a Marxist a second term.

Sorry pal, but “solutions” are hard to come by when you have totalitarian in power. Thanks again to you and your ilk for helping him achieve his desires.

[Norm Lenhart]

No, I gave us intergalactic teleportation and ponies. Lots of ponies.

If you believe the crap you just spouted, you’ll believe that too.

[Lakeshark]

Your logic, your stupidity.

Every time Bambi does this, and it will be every week, you and your ilk are at fault for being so damn stupid. Congrats, you got what you wanted, now live with it and stop pretending it's not your fault for being such an idiot.

And yes, it's worth swearing about.

[Norm Lenhart]

I see reading is hard for you. Not my problem.

Have a pony.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Yeah, I’ve seen that video. It is MIGHTY powerful...!!!

Thank you!

And, a huge AMEN to the rest of your post.

[Norm Lenhart]

Let me repeat...

Whatever.

[Lakeshark]

I guess part of your grand strategy was helping to hand a Marxist a second term.

BUMP to your post. You nailed it, Norm's (and his ilk) a total fraud.

[smokingfrog]

However, since I never did get one then and don’t feel I need to have one now, I don’t really have any personal involvement in this matter.

The Bill of Rights is a complete package. You can't support some parts and not others.

[Lakeshark]

Keep saying that, it just shows how stupid you really are, like the teenyboppers who repeat it mindlessly and endlessly.

Letting this country continue operationally Marxist for some kind of pretense in purity and principle.....BREELLIANT!

[Norm Lenhart]

I don’t see a single one of you refuting factually a single thing I have said. I see a lot of swearing, I see a lot of repeated GOP talking points. I even saw a call to have be burned NAZI style.

But so far not a single one of you has refuted a thing I have said.

Because factually, you can’t.

Deal with it.

I put these 3-4 million who failed to vote for Romney in the same category as “Low Information Voters.” They're both dumb, and Obama needed them both to win. The fact that they sit here with straight faces and try and convince people that Romney would be issuing EO’s to take away our guns is simply mind boggling. I feel like I'm visiting DU.

[ncalburt]

I agree .
Bonehead considered him
An enemy !
He was asked by the Ga GOP to GA
And run for an open seat and said no .
Sadly.

[Lakeshark]

These are my talking points, and you've said absolutely nothing sane, you're a fricking moron who hides behind the skirts of pretense and so called purity.

You and your stupid ilk wanted this to happen, now you deal with it. You own it, now you stop being so effing stupid about it. You were 100% wrong, 100% an Axelrod conservative who gave Bambi four more years to destroy everything you claim to love.

GFY

[tomkat]

This thread SHOULD be focused like a laser on the imminent attempt to destroy our Constitution's primary underpinning, and instead it's devolved into a CHILDISH F'N DISGRACE ! ! !

At this rate there'll be no ammo left to use on the traitors .. it'll all have been expended in this massive circular firing squad CF ! !

[ponygirl]

Not that I disagree entirely with what you are saying.... I'm just wondering how proud of yourself you will be when thousands of patriots are bleeding in the streets? Because that is where the road chosen by people like you is going to lead us.

The choice was between a soft tyranny - which held the possibilities of either a) being able to turn this thing around or b) patriots going back into the slumber they had been in up until 2010 and ending up where we are anyway; or the hard tyranny, with which there will be no compromises.

Approximately 3 million conservative voters have chosen the hard tyranny. So it will be. Just don't go and stay home when it comes time to fight, because you picked this fight. You better back it up.

[MaxMax]

I dare Reid to start those in the senate. Please do it Reid, We want you to.
I said please. I want to see the RATs spite their face.

[GeronL]

totally unconstitutional
