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 administrations first definitive statements about its response to last months 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 Obamas 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 Mondays 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 hasnt been undertaken yet, Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) told POLITICO. He did remind us that the campaign infrastructure is still accessible.

I seem to recall 19 hijackers on 9-11.
The more meaningful question Doug is how did all that GOP ass kissing go now that all the compromising ‘Principles do not matter” crowd elected the spineless morons now supposedly reping us in the House?
It’s YOUR winning at any cost philosophy, and the people that share it, that are responsible for this mess. YOU elected people over the years unwilling to defend our rights. And just look at what you ‘won’.
Own it. Because it’s the truth and you know it.
Not if the sheep don't wake up, and the Obama regime and the media are working very hard to portray themselves as the protectors of the citizenry against the crazy gun owners. A few violent incidents of resistance will actually help Obama. There needs to be massive civil disobedience, preferably millions in the street around the White House peacefully to stop what Obama has planned.
What about Boehner and McConnell? Heck I don’t even see guys like Rubio or Kyl making a peep about this.
like the hidden imam, we have the hidden Bushmaster. As for the number 19, we have that, too.........at Lexington and Concord.
I think we all thought riots would happen when the economy collapsed. Perhaps we were wrong - perhaps stomping on our 2nd amendment rights begins the riots. As in, what happens if thousands/millions march against Washington with their fire arms? Hussein would call out some form of the military to put down the march. Would not the nation break down into riots when that happens?
Obama and the liberal communists are bringing this nation to a crisis like we have never seen
“high-capacity magazine clips
That number (high-capacity) will soon be “8” in New York state.
The legislation is moving pretty quickly there and should be passed by next week...
The moment Obama was declared the winner I felt America die, literally die..the greatest country on God’s green earth snuffed out because of idiots who want free crap..that is all it took, just throw some free sh*t at people and they will vote for you..now we ALL have to suffer because of these morons
I am convinced that only civil war, an uprising of ordinary citizens, will rid us of this evil cancer. We cannot rely on lawful means. All of our institutions have been corrupted and compromised. We the People must fight.
Lunchbox Joe's investigation is an insult to our intelligence - after 40 years of commuting by train the man can barely find his way to Dover Station for cryin out loud.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
They said Reagan couldn’t win. But you know what? At the end of the campaign, he overcame Carter’s lead, people got off their butts and voted for him because they thought it was important to save the country.
Every candidate had people saying that particular candidate could not win. It happens every election. People stayed home, many of whom hate Mormons. If Bachman had been nominated, many would have said she couldn’t win. Same with Gingrich, and Santorum, and the rest.
Which so called conservative appointments are considering retiring within the next 4 years ?
Paging Henry Bowman...
The list, Ping

I never thought of myself as worthy of a seat amongst the Einrehjar in Valhalla...
I guess we may find out.
I agree. but you're forgetting to include those on our side (The True Patriots) who decided to either not vote, or voted third party, because they saw Romney as a bigger threat than Obama!
THE 3-4 MILLION ON OUR SIDE WHO DECIDED NOT TO VOTE ARE AS RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT WE'RE FACING RIGHT NOW AS THE LOW INFORMATION VOTER!
