(Reuters) - Monday's shooting in Boulder, Colorado, spurred a new round of calls for federal action on gun control, with President Joe Biden urging Congress to swiftly pass legislation. White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Biden was also "considering a range" of executive actions designed to stop gun violence.
The calls, following a mass shooting in a grocery story that left 10 people dead, are just the latest in a decades-long quest by many - largely Democrats - to enact measures to make it more difficult to buy firearms and restrict the type of weapons for sale.
