Kansas City, Missouri, Mayor Quinton Lucas was among the crowd calling for common sense gun laws.
“And for the first time, I’m actually afraid to, like, walk around in my neighborhood at night, enjoy all the things Kansas City has to offer,” Sarah Deeder, who participated in the rally, said. “Until we change gun laws, we aren’t KC strong. I’m a proud citizen of Kansas City, but until we actually do something to make us safer, we can’t call ourselves strong.”
