Biden Meets with Gun-Safety, Victims Groups
Posted Wednesday, January 9, 2013 --- 11:47 a.m.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Vice President Joe Biden is hearing personal stories of gun violence from representatives of victims groups and gun-safety organizations as he works on the Obama administration's response to the shooting at a Connecticut elementary school.
Biden's meeting Wednesday is part of a series he's holding this week to build consensus around proposals to curb gun violence after the Dec. 14 shooting in Newtown, Conn., in which 20 school children were killed.
He told participants that he and President Barack Obama are determined to act.
Participants included the Brady Campaign to End Gun Violence and groups from Arizona, Illinois and Wisconsin. Also present were two survivors of the Virginia Tech shooting.
Obama has asked Biden to deliver policy proposal by the end of the month.

by John Location: Stoughton on Jan 10, 2013 at 12:57 AMThese are NOT gun safety groups. They are anti-gun groups, period. They have no concept of safety. Every time one of these groups does a press confererence with guns, they always grab one, hold it with their finger on the trigger, and sweeping everyone with the muzzle. They just want to take your guns away, and have no interest in safety.[ Report Abuse ]
