Amid scandals, Joe Biden doubles down on gun control
2013-06-09
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
The former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body...
 is pushing aside the scandals plaguing his boss to renew his war on guns, an unusual doubling down on a key fight the administration was humiliated on just two months ago.

In an email to supporters, Biden said, "Look, I've been in politics a long time now. And I've seen time and time again that real, lasting change isn't always immediate -- but as long as you don't give up, you can win battles that you never thought possible."

Biden was the architect of the administration's gun control plan that included a ban on assault weapons. But the time it made it to the Senate floor, it had been watered down to just an expanded background check program and even that lost, leaving the White House with nothing.

#4  President Biden - frequently wrong, never unsure

#3  At least a President Biden would have conviction behind him, rather that some boss who gossip-mongers.

Pathetic.

Hey, if he is rumoring about someone else to you, he is rumoring about you too.

#2  Give up your assault on the 2nd Amendment Joe; it ain't flying. However, you, "O", Hillary, Finestein, and other Progressives are trying hard to find backdoor approaches such as signing the U.N. Small Arms Treaty. There would be a show-down between our Constitution and an illegal U.N. dictate. This backdoor approach to gun control most likely would end badly and have unintended consequences.

#1  This gives Biden something to chew on. Useful idiots are not needed at the moment. He's harmlessly off in the corner, well away from the daily events and crisis of his boss.
