Armed but peaceful, activists pledge to fight new gun laws
Capitol Gun Rally
Bill Havens of Portland attends a gun rally at the Oregon State Capitol in Salem, Ore. on Friday, Feb. 8, 2013. Hundreds attended the rally, armed with signs and guns. The demonstration is a response to calls for stiffer gun laws in the wake of recent mass shootings. Protesters say they want to show state lawmakers that they're peaceful, law-abiding gun owners and will fight any attempt to impose new gun restrictions. Some carried American flags.
