Vice President Joe Biden will discuss the Obama administration's position on gun control in a Google Hangout on Thursday at 1:45 p.m. EST, Google and the vice president's office announced Wednesday.

Biden's hangout will be a resurrection of the so-called "Fireside Hangouts," the White House's series of conversations with top officials via the video chat feature on Google+. The name is a play on the radio-based Fireside Chats famously held by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt between 1933 and 1944.

Joining Biden on Thursday will be Guy Kawasaki, one of the original Apple employees, video blogger Phil DeFranco and moderator Hari Sreenivasan of PBS NewsHour. Questions can be submitted ahead of the panel by replying to Google+ posts from the participants or from the White House (Biden notably doesn't have an active Google+ profile).

Biden was charged with leading a gun reform task force by President Barack Obama following the December shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., that claimed 27 lives including that of the shooter.

The Obama administration is pushing for Congress to pass criminal background checks for all gun sales, reinstating the Federal Assault Weapons Ban, limiting magazine rounds to 10 rounds and other reforms. Last week, Obama took more than 20 executive actions in an effort to reduce gun violence.

Obama last held a hangout in January.
