An advocacy group formed after the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School is holding a rally outside the National Shooting Sports Foundation in Connecticut for the Las Vegas mass shooting victims.
The Newtown Action Alliance said in a Facebook post that Wednesday evening's rally will be against the gun industry's efforts to "weaken our gun laws" and to demand action from the president and Congress.
The 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook in Newtown left six adults and 20 children dead.
The group previously held a vigil and rally outside the gun association's headquarters after the mass shooting at an Orlando gay nightclub.
Fifty-eight people were killed and more than 500 were injured during the shooting at a country music festival in Las Vegas Sunday. Several remain hospitalized in critical condition.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones of all those killed and injured in the criminal attack in Las Vegas,” the National Shooting Sports Foundation said in a statement. “Out of respect for the families of the victims and the law enforcement process, we are not going to comment or participate in media requests made relating to this attack.”
