Hundreds March Across New York Bridge for Stricter Gun Laws

By JULIE WALKER, ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — May 7, 2016, 6:10 PM ET

Hundreds of people carrying photos of loved ones killed by gun violence marched across the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday to rally for stricter gun laws and chanted demands for action.

The fourth annual march, held on the eve of Mother's Day, was organized by the group Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.

"We are going to stand up and fight until our last breath because if we lose our children we have nothing left to lose," said the group's founder, Shannon Watts.

The marchers, who went from Cadman Plaza in Brooklyn to City Hall in lower Manhattan, said they wanted stricter background checks for gun purchases and a ban on assault rifles.
