Obama Appoints Biden on Gun Violence Response

President Obama named Vice President Biden today to head a task force saying, "There can no longer be any excuse for doing nothing" to prevent deadly gun violence...This is not something where folks are going to be studying the issue for six months and publishing a report that gets read and then pushed aside.

President Obama named Vice President Biden today to head a task force saying, "There can no longer be any excuse for doing nothing" to prevent deadly gun violence...This is not something where folks are going to be studying the issue for six months and publishing a report that gets read and then pushed aside. This is a team that has a very specific task to pull together real reforms right now. Today's Los Angeles Times carries the headline, "Gun Lobby's Grip on Congress Threatened." The writer is Matea Gold.
