While Vice President Joe Biden meets with the National Rifle Association this week to draw up proposals for the gun violence task force, President Barack Obama is exploring executive orders to stop mass shootings in America.

Biden announced Obama’s plans on 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.
