Obama pushes for review of gun control
President Barack Obama has urged US lawmakers to remember the children gunned down in America and not get "squishy" in the face of powerful forces up against gun control legislation, as supporters struggle to win over moderate Democrats before a Senate vote expected next month.
Obama, flanked by grim-faced mothers who have lost their children to guns as early as last month, said on Thursday that Washington must do something after the tragic mass shooting in Connecticut three months ago.
