Anti-gun violence rally held under Gateway Arch, Missouri

Hundreds of people pray under the Gateway Arch during the Moms Demand Action rally against gun violence in St. Louis, Missouri, on Saturday, August 17, 2019. It was one of over 100 anti-gun violence rallies across the United States this weekend to demand background checks for gun purchases and stronger gun violence prevention laws. The demonstrations come in the wake of the El Paso, Texas, Dayton, Ohio, Philadelphia and Chicago mass shootings this month. [Photo: IC/UPI Photo via Newscom/Bill Greenblatt]
