Senior administration officials tell CBS News President Obama is likely to unveil his new ideas to reduce gun violence next week. The president will also push his gun control agenda in his State of the Union address next month. The president wants Congress to reinstate the assault weapons ban that expired in 2004 and extend criminal and mental health background checks to firearm sales at gun shows and through private dealers. Vice President Joe Biden has devoted this week to hearing from all sides, including the National Rifle Association Thursday. "We're here today to deal with a problem that requires immediate action, urgent action. And the president and I are determined to take action," Biden said. He met today with victims of gun violence and gun control advocates and said the political climate will never be the same after the Newtown massacre. "I've been doing this a long time.
