The White House is calling for gun control measures in the wake of a school shooting in Iowa, saying it plans to reiterate that position as long as President Joe Biden is in office.

Multiple gunshot victims have been confirmed by police at Perry High School in Perry, Iowa, which led press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to renew calls for more gun legislation during the Thursday news briefing.

"We're just a couple of days into the new year, and we're talking about another shooting," Jean-Pierre said. "That is heart-wrenching, and that is heartbreaking. As I stated at the top, enough is enough. We're going to continue to call on Congress to act."

The press secretary then acknowledged that Congress has acted during Biden's term. The president signed bipartisan gun legislation into law in June 2022, which included enhanced background checks for gun buyers between 18 and 21 years old and closed the "boyfriend" loophole, among other actions.

The Washington Examiner asked if the White House felt that the bill Biden signed was having an impact.

"That piece of legislation, certainly, was important," Jean-Pierre said. "It is taking steps for states, for example, to take actions to deal with gun violence in their communities. But we need more. We're always going to say we need more."

The press secretary also pointed to two dozen executive actions she says Biden has taken, before calling for new legislation that would ban "high-capacity" magazines and "assault weapons" and enact red flag laws.

The 2022 bill was the first major piece of gun control legislation signed since 1994, another bill that heavily involved Biden. Jean-Pierre said it shouldn't be the last of his presidency.

"Yes, it was important that we took this step [in 2022]," she said. "It took 30 years to get that bipartisan legislation done, and the president obviously signed it. But we need more. It is not enough. That's what we believe. It's just not enough."
