The Vice President: I just want you to know what we've been doing and then maybe

we can have a longer and larger conversation.

people, unlike anything that I've seen or felt, and we've

been around a long time, you know, all the time I've been

in public life, there have been a number of tragedies that have

occurred and natural catastrophes, but I've never

quite seen anything that has shocked the consciousness of

the American people like six and seven-year-old kids being

riddled with bullets in a classroom, in a neighborhood,

in an area that was considered to be immune to this kind of

behavior and had done everything that seemed logical and able to

be done to protect the children in that school.

And so the President asked me, because I had spent so much time

on these issues relating particularly to guns and

violence in my years in the Senate, whether or not we would

And quite frankly, we don't even know whether some of the things

people think impact on this actually impact on it or not.

I want to give you a sense of the meetings we've had so far.

We met with the law enforcement community which has obviously

And we met with -- and there is a wide range of those

communities and they don't always agree on anything from

weapons to preventative action that can be taken

We met with the medical community, a dozen or more

of the American Academy of Family Physicians, the AMA,

the American Academy of Neurology, et cetera,

We've met with at risk groups, at risk youth and child advocacy

communities from the obvious one that everyone knows from Boys

and Girls Clubs, the YMCA, to the After School Alliance and

there is more than a dozen of those we met with.

Domestic violence prevention community, which I've done a

great deal of work on having authored the Violence Against

Women Act, and they have various views and suggestions.

Legal and justice organizations, from the ABA to other legal and

judicial organizations we've had in as well.

The civil, excuse me, participation and national

service organizations from the Kiwanis Club to the Rotary Club

Gun safety advocates from the Brady group to all of the major

The educators and parents who are groping for answers.

The mental health community including the American Academy

of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, to NIH, we've been

Not an extensive study but just a meeting on literature that the

staff has been working and government wide to much of

what you already had, but some of which has been new

And maybe the most interesting meeting we had was with an

interfaith group representing for the first time in all the

time I have been doing this, not only the traditional mainstream

Protestant churches and the Catholic Conference of Bishops,

but evangelical groups who generally have been reluctant

to engage in this because it's been viewed as maybe an attack

on cultural norms relating to rural communities and gun

But we've had, all of these groups have shown up including

the leaders of the Muslim community, the Hindu community,

And it was really a fascinating discussion, very enlightening, I

And then we met with sportsmen and rural groups which are

distinct from but not necessarily disagree with

the gun owner groups from the NRA and others but they have a

They include the Association of Fish and Wildlife, Blue Water

Strategies, the Outdoor Industry Association, et cetera.

Yesterday we met with the gun owners from, ranging groups from

the Defense of Small Arms Advisory Council headed by

a retired major general, to firearms and export roundtable

which that's their business, to independent firearms owners,

And there is actually difference among them as well.
