Groups rally nationwide for change to U.S. gun laws

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Groups gathered from coast to coast Thursday to demand change to gun laws in America.

The group Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America rallied near Daley Plaza Thursday morning.

It's part of "Whatever It Takes Day" across the country, which was inspired by the murders of two Virginia journalists while on the air in August.

Alison Parker's father Andy appeared at a rally in Washington, D.C.
