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.
