'We're tired of it': In honor of National Gun Violence Awareness Day and Wear Orange weekend, communities across the Bay Area participated in a vigil and a march, demanding tougher federal gun laws.

"I'm just here in solidarity with everyone that's trying to get guns off the street and our of the hands of children and make our schools safer," said Reeves."I know what it's like for family to be murdered to senseless violence, our kids affected, we're tired of it," said Ivory.

Peninsula Democratic Congresswoman Jackie Speier, a survivor of gun violence- led Sunday's march. She hopes there will be political compromise, to keep schools and society safer. Those in attendance said the distance from mass shooting scenes is doing little to ease the trauma felt here in the Bay Area.

"It stemmed from a young person who said, 'Can we have something in Daly City?'" Councilmember Juslyn Manalo explained."That's really how it happened." "We need to make sure that we get these assault rifles off the street," County Supervisor David Canepa said."They're killing our children, and they're just killing people in general."
