VP Biden to discuss guns in Phila. Monday
Thomas Fitzgerald, Inquirer Politics Writer
Vice President Biden is scheduled to visit Philadelphia Monday to hold a roundtable on gun violence with law enforcement officials, the White House says.
The visit is part of the administration’s continuing press for some gun-control measures in the wake of the Newtown, Conn. School shooting. Biden has emerged as the leading public advocate of proposed gun-safety measures, including universal background checks for purchasers of firearms.
Biden is scheduled to be joined by Deputy U.S. Attorney General James Cole and several Democratic members of the Pennsylvania congressional delegation: Sen. Bob Casey; and Reps. Bob Brady, Chaka Fattah and Allyson Schwartz.

Comment removed.- you are paranoid and you have guns.
GOD help your neighbors.
the government has no design on taking your army toys. limits on ammo is not the same as them taking your beloved phallic symbol— the lopez! - Poor simpleton Lopes.
We don't expect you to understand the philosophical reasons of the 2nd Amendment...just thank us for defending your rights and move on.— Professor1982 - thank you for being a dope. — the lopez!
- The Lopez! may or may not understand the philosophical reason for being a gun nut, (if there is one), but he seems to understand the psychological one. — carl and sons
- You know we don't have to discuss paranoia or the psychological or philosophical reasons for the 2nd Amendment.
There are glaring, practical, current, vital reasons why, today, the American citizenry needs access to high capacity magazines and tactical assault rifles.
The whole discourse leaves me wondering at the least, two things. Why is the executive branch so eager to take away weapons that are responsible for so few crimes? And why are some people so eager to let an executive branch, that thinks it's okay to assassinate innocent US civilians, disarm them?— JoeinSouthPhilly - The circus will be in town, along with its top clown.— Beethoven987
- Nice. Now maybe the killings will finally stop.— MooseBreathMints
- Vice President Biden will come to Philadelphia and talk about something else he knows nothing about...— CA Scum

Urban YETI is correct...It is without shame that Democrats and liberals THINK they are more intelligent and righteous than our forefathers:
"Those who would give up essential Liberty to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” - Ben Franklin
“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.” - Patrick Henry
“The few cases wherein these things (proposed Bill of Rights) may do evil, cannot be weighed against the multitude where the want of them will do evil…I hope therefore a bill of rights will be formed to guard the people against the federal government…" - Thomas Jefferson
“Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law,’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.”- Thomas Jefferson
— Professor1982 - pro-fester
you are either a prankster
or
you are really nutty.
the thought of you having guns makes me glad i dont live in the trailer park where you reside.
you again spew unfounded accusation and reflect a deeply engrained paranoia.
i think the guys you quote from would be embarrassed by you.
are you a glen beck fan or is it rush or some other right wing nut job who convinced you that the world is after the angry stupid white man— the lopez! - Lopes, Lopes, Lopes....to ignorant for your own good.
You should demand a refund for whatever education you received....
Only an uneducated troll would think history is "spewing unfounded accusations and reflect a deeply engrained paranoia".— Professor1982 - reread your rambling statements sometime.
you are either a prankster or you are deeply disturbed.
and then thinking you have a gun makes me shudder.
i hope you and your sister didnt have any kids because your family tree is a toxic weed.

the by
where did you get your g.e.d bob jones high school?— the lopez! - Lopez! Do us all a favor and ignore the Professor/Taxman. He lives for being obnoxious and the attention it gives him. Small minded people like him are not worth any effort to communicate.
