Vice President Biden today said, “nothing has touched the hearts of the American people’ like the bodies of children “riddled with bullets.” He promised action in Washington, backed by gun owners, like former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, a shooting victim. She, New York Mayor Bloomberg and others are pledging big money to overcome the political clout of the NRA.Will talk of “responsible ownership” and “violence reduction” overcome fears of confiscation and erosion of the 2nd Amendment? Also, we talk about the hottest year in American history and about Obama picking Lew to Replace Geithner as Treasury Secretary.
