Congresswoman Speier discusses gun violence with Chris Matthews on Hardball

Matthews: U.S. congresswoman Jackie Speier of California was among a group of House Democrats that meet with Vice President Biden today. She herself is a shooting victim. Congresswoman, thank you for joining us. What can you tell us on the record about what might be in the Vice President's package of proposals?
Speier: I think what you heard the President say will certainly be in that package. He also said Vice President Biden indicated that there were some 19 areas that he was able to identify that the president could take action on through executive order. He didn't go into detail on what they might be, but suffice it to say there will be some actions considered that will not require Congressional action. The Vice President did a great job of meeting with 270 people representing every imaginable interest on this issue, and I think it's the most comprehensive look at guns in probably a generation coming from the White House.
