Carson City, NV (KRNV & MyNews4.com)-- On Saturday, January 19th, protesters gathered outside the State Legislature Building in Carson City to speak out against recent gun control legislation.
On January 16, President Obama unveiled a package of gun control proposals that include universal background checks and bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.
Protesters in Carson called their rally "Pro Second Amendment" and spoke out against the new proposals. These discussions come after the recent Sandy Hook shooting in Newtown, Connecticut re-ignited the political discussion on gun control, sparking a series of similar pro-gun protests nationwide.
