Jan 9 - War on the American people? Obama exploring executive orders to combat gun violence. (CNN)

On Wednesday night, Piers Morgan goes one-on-one with firearms lobbyist Larry Pratt over guns in America. "Piers Morgan Tonight" airs nightly at 9 ET.

(CNN) -- President Barack Obama is exploring executive orders to help prevent mass shootings in America, Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday.

"The president is going to act. Executive orders, executive action, can be taken," Biden told reporters before meetings with groups representing survivors of mass shootings. "We haven't decided what this is yet, but we're compiling it all with the help of the attorney general and all the rest of the Cabinet members."

Legislative action also is needed, Biden said.

"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," he said.

Biden: Gun effort a 'moral issue'
President Obama vowed last month that a new task force overseen by Biden will provide "concrete proposals" by the end of January to reduce gun violence. The group, which includes an array of Cabinet members and government officials, was est@blished in the wake of the massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, that left 27 people dead -- 20 of them elementary school children.

In addition to gun laws, the group is looking at mental health care and what the president has described as a culture that often "glorifies guns and violence."

CNN iReport: The gun control debate

Biden's brief remarks Wednesday came before what will likely be some of the most emotional testimony before the task force.

Among those addressing the group to push for tougher gun laws is Colin Goddard of the Brady Campaign. He was shot four times in the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre, in which a gunman k!lled 32 people and himself.

"My job is to represent the voice of the overwhelming majority of Americans ... that want some comprehensive, common sense changes to our gun policy," he told CNN Wednesday. "There are common ground solutions that respect the Second Amendment."

Many gun sales take place without background checks, and "that's bad policy," he argues. Conducting such checks "doesn't stop a law-abiding citizen from getting a gun. But somebody with a history of illness, felony record, they need to get checked."

The campaign's phones have been "ringing off the hook" since the Newtown massacre, he said.

The task force will also hear from gun safety organizations Wednesday.

Gun lobby faces challenge

On Thursday, Biden's group will hear from the other side: gun rights groups, including the National Rifle[..]ociation.

The NRA has argued that it is committed to keeping people protected, but that a focus on stricter gun control is misguided.

NRA President David Keene later told CNN the group supports schools choosing whether they want armed guards.

How is this propaganda? Biden clearly said it... What do you think his executive orders are going to be? If its turn ur guns in or get arrested, prepare for a civil war literally. The gun nuts down south wont be having that !!. If that's declared prepare to see america start to crumble.



correction

*assault rifles*

i think you are being paranoid, but who knows [pic]

50+ mil on foodstamps
More than 1/3 of the country is without work, and majority are heavily underpaid.

If obama's planning to use executive orders on guns his priorities are !!ed up.

Make banks pay what they owe, raising interest rates, and protecting home owners who are getting tossed out onto the street, because some white dude in a nice suit gave a family a sub prime loan KNOWING it would fail and he would profit off the fee's/commission.

Obama let banks and wall street destroy the next couple generations of kids, and we are worried about 20 kids? Lets worry about the 20 million kids in our country who's moms and dads are getting evicted, and they cant afford to eat a healthy meal. Thats whats really going to k!ll our kids.

Fuking light shade wimpgit.

This guy Andre tries so hard to be funny. Get a life [pic]

lol the purpose of the 2nd amendment is to keep the government in check from gaining to much power or control over the people.

If the government wanted to do it, they would still do it and there's really nothing that you can do about it.

That's why all this paranoia is retarded.
