Amid scandals, Joe Biden doubles down on gun control
 [WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz KidBiden The former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body... is pushing aside the scandals plaguing his boss to renew his war on guns, an unusual doubling down on a key fight the administration was humiliated on just two months ago. In an email to supporters, Biden said, "Look, I've been in politics a long time now. And I've seen time and time again that real, lasting change isn't always immediate -- but as long as you don't give up, you can win battles that you never thought possible." Biden was the architect of the administration's gun control plan that included a ban on assault weapons. But the time it made it to the Senate floor, it had been watered down to just an expanded background check program and even that lost, leaving the White House with nothing.
