NRA President David Keene complained Fridaythat the group had been left out of talks with the White House on possible measures to reduce gun violence. Following the Newtown tragedy, Vice President Joe Biden was appointed to lead a task force and according to Keene, Biden has yet to contact the NRA for their take.

Keene wasn’t surprised the group has been ignored, since, according to him, Biden is “not even a friendly antagonist.” Reuters notes that “the lack of communication between the White House and the largest U.S. lobbying group for gun owners is a sign that the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, has so far failed to change long-held stances on gun politics.”
