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.”

Yep. Norm (and his ilk) is an Axelrod conservative, and nothing else. He owns the ruin of the country, he'll never admit admit it, he'll blame everyone else but the person in the mirror who is the one at fault.
Well at least I’m in good conservative company. Where you are doesn’t really matter.
BTW, how exactly does ‘GFY” address anything I said? Oh right. I’m the insane fraud. The guy ranting like a teenage drunk the stable one worth listening to.
Being ‘proud’ has nothing to do with right and wrong. Supporting conservative rather than liberals is never wrong.
You're no conservative, you just pretend to be one, you held the country in your hands, you and your ilk, stared at it and then you spit on it, then you preen around as if you were right to allow this monster a second term.
Great strategy Norm, just brilliant. You own this, big time.
I’m not a big gun enthusiast either. I rather fish. But attacking the Bill of Rights by EO is unacceptable. Obamster is as red as a baboon’s a$$.
Seems to me you are awfully proud of having helped elect a communist tyrant. The house is burning and you stand around with your arms crossed saying, “I told you so.” You seem to forget that you are standing inside the same house.
Got anything worth discussing or just you same rehashed Romney butthurt?
Fact: Congress is filled with compromising republicans who refuse to be ‘purists’ and defend the Constitution.
Tell me again how purity is somehow a bad thing.
Not proud of anything. Facts are facts. We can change course or not. Your choice.
Sorry you don’t like the facts.
Yep! We are on our own on this one. We either do or we don’t do.
Congress will hold out as they can, and trust me, when (if) they hold out it will have nothing to do with you and your ilk. You gave us this so STFU.
Nope. Answer 307.
Nailed him big time.
What they are after is total control over you [us]. Preventing crime or Sandy Hook type of attacks are the least of their worries. Once they have you [us]disarmed, our time in this world will be very short.
Still waiting to see you factually dispute my posts Lake. Forming a personal agreement circle does nothing to do that.
You own it. His second term is your creation. Deal with with your own stupidity, and thanks a lot for supporting Axelrod’s efforts, he’s proud of you.
I asked a number of times. You just reply with neener neener BS. You can’t refute it. You proved it. We all can read it.
Good night lake.
You’ve never had a factual post on this thread (and hardly any others in the past year or so), you just live in some la la land and pretend like this is not your fault for being so damn stupid and stubborn. Congrats.
