(CNSNews.com) - Vice President Joe Biden told reporters at the White House, “there are executive orders, executive action that can be taken” on gun control.
Biden was gathering with members of a task force to address gun violence Wednesday when he said, “I want it clear to the American public that on behalf of the president we are reaching out to all – all parties, on whatever side of this debate you fall. But the president is going to act."
“There are executive orders, executive action that can be taken. We haven’t decided what that is yet," Biden continued, “But we’re compiling it all with the help of the Attorney General and all the rest of the cabinet members – as well as legislative action we believe is required.”
Biden was appointed by President Barack Obama to head a task force to explore the issue of preventing gun tragedies, following the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.
The task force is gathering this week to meet with various organizations and gather information. The group is set to issue a report by the end of January.
