The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper reports that Vice President Joe Biden told the press prior to his meeting with victims of gun violence that the President was willing to use an executive order to deal with guns.

“The president is going to act,” Biden said, “There are executives orders, there’s executive action that can be taken. We haven’t decided what that is yet. But we’re compiling it all with the help of the attorney general and the rest of the cabinet members as well as legislative action that we believe is required.”
