Demonstrators March For Gun Safety

On Saturday thousands of demonstrators marched in Washington D.C. to promote gun safety legislation.

Demonstrators traveled from the National Mall to the Washington Monument. The rally was co-sponsored by One Million Moms for Gun Control, which organized about a dozen similar rallies across the country.

People from across the country came to march. They held signs that said " Ban Assault Weapons Now." Participants held signs of victims killed by guns. One sign showed a picture of Ben Wheeler - a six year old victim of the Newtown CT shooting.

The march was led by the mayor of Washington D.C.

Also participating was the U.S. Secretary of Education.
