[Vision2020] A Solution to a Problem - Or a Political Agenda?

[Wayne Price]

Strikes me as a political agenda as there was NOTHING mentioned about  
the mental health and school security issues even being looked at!

"President Obama has picked Vice President Joe Biden to lead a task  
force to investigate and come up with a proposal to help stop gun  
violence.In a press conference Wednesday morning, Obama said that the  
group will “concrete proposals no later than January -- proposals that  
I then intend to push without delay. ”President Obama has picked Vice  
President Joe Biden to lead a task force to investigate and come up  
with a proposal to help stop gun violence. “This is not some  
Washington commission,” the president explained.  “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.”He added that just because the issue of gun control  
is complex “can no longer be an excuse for doing nothing. ”According  
to Fox News, Obama said that he had picked Biden because of his role  
in the 1994 assault-weapons ban, which expired in 2004. Obama did not  
make any specific policy announcements and assured Americans that  
their gun rights will be protected. “The fact is the vast majority of  
gun owners in America are responsible.  But you know what -- I am also  
betting that the majority, the vast majority of responsible law- 
abiding gun owners would be some of the first to say that we should be  
able to keep an irresponsible law-breaking few from buying a weapon of  
war,” he explained.  The president also asked Congress to act on the  
issue as soon as possible. Lawmakers have already begun calls for  
stricter laws and California Sen. Dianne Feinstein already said that  
she will re-introduce the 1994 assault weapons ban."
