Hundreds of gun safety advocates and mass shooting survivors are set to rally on Capitol Hill Thursday in support of a federal assault weapons ban.
The movement, called March Fourth, is now a non-profit organization with one mission in mind — to federally ban assault weapons.
One month since the mass shooting in Highland Park, Illinois, many residents reeling from the attack are turning their anger into activism.
Families affected by mass shootings across the U.S. protested outside of the Capitol, calling on Congress to ban assault weapons.
Sen. Tammy Duckworth, alongside Sen. Dick Durbin, met with residents and members of March Fourth, a gun safety advocacy group, Tuesday to hear more about their experiences as well as discuss policy solutions.
