Dusty Balz, SASS#46599 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Joe Biden says the president of the United States is preparing to take "executive actions" to deal with guns. BuzzFeed reports: Vice President Biden told White House allies in the guncontrol fight Thursday that President Obama will be announcing newexecutive actions on gun violence in the days after the Senate voteddown a gun violence bill. On a conference call with "stakeholders," Biden told gun controladvocates that the fight is not over and that eventual action on guncontrol will come. Press were not invited to the conference call; aparticipant provided BuzzFeed with access. "Look I know you're going to say that I'm just being an optimist andI'm trying to put a good face on this. But you know I've been aroundhere a long time and we've already done, because of you, some reallygood things," Biden said. "Number one, the president is already liningup some additional executive actions he's going to be taking later thisweek." After the Newtown shootings, Obama took a number of executive actionsto expand research into gun violence and other areas favored by the guncontrol community. He took the actions without Congressional approval,leading to outrage by some conservatives. Gun control measures failed in the Democratic-controlled Senate earlier this week.
