Vice President Joe Biden revealed that President Barack Obama might use an 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 take place at the White House.

With today's news that Barack Obama plans to use executive orders in his effort to cut down on the number of guns in America, rock legend and longtime 2nd Amendment advocate Ted Nugent is now unloading his thoughts.
Look what strategy Nugent is taking in what's building to be an epic struggle.
Read the latest now on WND.com.
I wonder what all his drones will say to that.
Weren't they saying that middle class taxes were not going up? LOL Lame brains trying to vote or order us into slavery.
It might just be the last chance you get.
BUT those who own guns wont give up without a fight !

--Thomas Jefferson, quoting Cesare Beccaria in On Crimes and Punishment (1764).
For example, after Australia banned & destroyed firearms the violent crime rate increased 19%. For that same period in the US violent crime DECLINED 9% Heard on the radio.
But here is some written material.
"It is a common fantasy that gun bans make society safer. In 2002 -- five years after enacting its gun ban -- the Australian Bureau of Criminology acknowledged there is no correlation between gun control and the use of firearms in violent crime. In fact, the percent of murders committed with a firearm was the highest it had ever been in 2006 (16.3 percent), says the D.C. Examiner.
Even Australia's Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research acknowledges that the gun ban had no significant impact on the amount of gun-involved crime:
In 2006, assault rose 49.2 percent and robbery 6.2 percent.
Sexual assault -- Australia's equivalent term for rape -- increased 29.9 percent.
Overall, Australia's violent crime rate rose 42.2 percent.
At the same time, U.S. violent crime decreased 31.8 percent: rape dropped 19.2 percent; robbery decreased 33.2 percent; aggravated assault dropped 32.2 percent.
Australian women are now raped over three times as often as American women.

Between 1995 and 2007, Australia saw a 31.9 percent decrease; without a gun ban, America's rate dropped 31.7 percent."

Let me make it a bit more simple. Ban guns and firearm homicides decline, but rapes increase! As well as robbery & assaults. I.e. VIOLENT CRIME! And the rise in these ancillary crimes more than offsets the drop in firearm homicides.
Data studies show that the amount of "mass shootings"
http://www.latimes.com/news/n...
"Although some indications suggest the American public has reached a breaking point after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting -- yet another tragic mass shooting in a particularly tragic year -- such attacks have long been a part of American history, and some experts say they are happening not much more often than usual.
'There is one not-so-tiny flaw in all of these theories for the increase in mass shootings,' James Alan Fox, a criminologist at Northeastern University in Boston, wrote for Boston.com in August. 'And that is that mass shootings have not increased in number or in overall body count, at least not over the past several decades.' A particularly broad set of FBI and police data that counted shootings between 1980 and 2010 The average pace was about 20 mass murders per year, with a death toll of about 100."

There have been 102 rampage killings from 1996, world wide. Not all of them were firearms though.
