Biden: Gun task force to submit recommendations by Tuesday Vice President Joe Biden will offer new recommendations from his gun violence prevention task force to the president by Tuesday, Biden said during a Thursday morning meeting with sportsmen's groups. Vice President Joe Biden speaks during a meeting on curbing gun violence at the White House Jan. 10, 2013. The vice president, charged to lead the task force in the wake of the Newtown school shooting, said that stakeholder groups have expressed "surprising" support for universal background checks so far, as well as some restrictions on high-capacity magazines. "There is a surprising -- so far -- recurrence of suggestions that we have universal background checks, not just [to] close the gun show loophole, but total, universal background checks, including private sales," Biden said. But Biden has not yet met with the National Rifle Association, the country's powerful gun lobby and foe of restrictions on gun ownership. Continuing a series of meetings with stakeholders in the gun debate, Biden was scheduled to meet later Thursday with gun owners' groups -- including the NRA -- as well as entertainment industry representatives. Asked what he intended to discuss with pro-gun representatives, Biden said simply "oh, we're going to talk about all the things that I've talked about here." Vice President Joe Biden talks about the issues that were brought up during his gun violence meetings saying that among the groups he spoke with, "There is a surprising - so far - recurrence of suggestions that we have universal background checks." The outdoor enthusiasts meeting with the vice president included members of the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, Ducks Unlimited, and the Outdoor Industry Association; the entertainment industry participants, slated for a 6 p.m. ET meeting, include representatives from the Motion Picture Association of America, Comcast, and the Directors Guild. Megastore Wal-Mart will also be participating in a Thursday meeting with Attorney General Eric Holder this afternoon, along with other retailers like Bass Pro Shops and Dick's Sporting Goods. Wal-Mart agreed to send a representative to the session after public criticism of the store's initial 'no' RSVP to the White House invitation. The former Delaware senator also described his own relationship with guns and hunting, saying he's "an owner of shotguns" but "no great hunter." "It's mostly skeet shooting for me," he said. Biden raised some conservatives' eyebrows yesterday when he said that the administration is considering possible executive action in addition to legislative solutions. "The president is going to act," he said during a session with gun control groups Wednesday. White House spokesman Jay Carney said later Wednesday that no decisions have been made about avenues for implementation of possible reforms.
