Independent voices from the TWT Communities
About 40 young people waved signs and voiced loud support for Second Amendment rights in the front of D.C. city hall on Friday, an unusual sight in a heavily Democratic city that is known for its strict gun-control laws.
Ms. Haas said she is "a single girl who's living in the city" and should have the right to protect herself with a firearm if, for instance, she is accosted while walking at night from the Metro to her home near Eastern Market.
"I really do believe we should be allowed to have our Second Amendment rights," protester Amanda Haas, 21, said.
