Obama administration holding
regular meetings with gun control groups
Posted on October 30, 2013
President Barack Obama's behind the scenes plans for gun control go on but
without Vice President Joe Biden.
Biden, the White House's public
face of and private force behind the push for new gun control laws, and his
chief of staff, Bruce Reed, are no longer involved in the long term planning
between the White House and major gun violence prevention groups, officials
from several organizations tell POLITICO
The vice president's disappearance
from an issue he'd been spearheading is a clear signal of how much the focus
has shifted from passing gun control legislation in Congress to winning reforms
at state capitols and building local networks that can pressure and help elect
members of Congress over the long term. The background checks bill Obama
championed in the Senate isn't going to get another vote after falling short in
April unless several senators publicly change their mind, aides to senators
involved in gun control discussions say.
Officials from the White House
Office of Public Engagement, which reports to senior Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, are now carrying the
administration's gun control efforts. OPE officials hold a regular meeting with
the major gun control groups known
as the Gun Violence Table.
