Vice President Joe Biden met Thursday with Cabinet members and law enforcement officials from around the country as part of the Obama administration’s push for tighter gun control in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre. Speaking to reporters before the meeting, Biden affirmed the president’s commitment to reform.

Joe Biden: “The president is absolutely committed to keeping his promise that we will act, and we will act in a way that is designed — even if, as he says, we could only save one life, we have to take action.”
