Relatives of victims of gun violence and other protesters stage a sit-in at the Capitol Rotunda on Tuesday. It is not right that people live in fear of gun violence erupting in public places where people gather for fun, Brown said. She said many parents in the District are concerned about the possibility of gun violence affecting their families. The group of mostly Capitol Hill residents grew to 125 people as it marched along East Capitol Street from Lincoln Park to the Capitol. She was one of dozens of parents who protested what they consider inaction by Congress to pass legislation to curb gun violence.
