The Obama administration is sitting down with gun owners groups – including the National Rifle Association – as officials look at ways to curb gun violence.
Vice President Joe Biden, who is leading an administration-wide review of gun safety laws, has vowed urgent action in the wake of last month's massacre at a Connecticut elementary school.
The meeting with the NRA is one of three Biden has scheduled for Thursday, as he prepares to make recommendations on gun policy by the end of the month. Besides the NRA, Biden and other officials are meeting with sportsmen and wildlife interest groups, as well as people from the entertainment industry.

This is a developing story, check back for further updates.I'm starting to think that the incessant coverage of these shootings is like promoting a high score in a game. Crazies just see it as a challenge, and they accept. And no law will stop them.
