SAN FRANCISCO -- Mass shootings and gun violence have become common headlines these days even as the battle over gun laws continues. On Sunday, a colorful expression of support for stricter gun laws was held at the entrance to the Golden Gate.

The Golden Gate Bridge is San Francisco's most iconic landmark and a group called Moms Demand Action has adopted a somewhat-different shade of orange as inspiration for their ten-year fight against gun violence. Hundreds of supporters gathered on the bridge for the "Wear Orange" march across the span which has become an annual event.

"I'm so happy that you're here, wanting to take action with us," event organizer Alex Navarro told the crowd. "Showing up means so much to the survivors."
