WASHINGTON--In the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre, President Barack Obama is saying he wants proposals to curb gun violence by next month: to that end, Vice President Joe Biden--who is leading the task force--on Thursday is meeting with:

"law enforcement leaders from across the country who are on the front lines every day protecting our communities to discuss an effective path forward. The Vice President will be joined by White House officials as well as Attorney General Eric Holder, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, and Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius."
