Thousands of US citizens gathered in Los Angeles yesterday (24th March) demanding more stringent gun laws. They participated in the ‘March For Our Lives’ protest demanding Washington lawmakers tougher stance against gun violence.

‘March For Our Lives’  which took place yesterday (24th March), is the first of 800 planned rally to be organized worldwide to create global awareness on gun controls.

The need for gun control in the US has increased after the recent mass shooting which took place on the 14th February at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
