Hundreds of people, many of them openly carrying guns, gathered downtown Monday to protest new restrictions being proposed on some firearms and ammunition in Pittsburgh.

However, the rally began by remembering the victims slain in the Tree of Life Synagogue mass shooting, as organizers held a lengthy moment of silence outside the City-County Building.

Immediately after, sharp rhetoric took aim at Pittsburgh's newly proposed gun laws.

Gun rights advocates rallied in response to the City Council considering a ban on semi-automatic rifles and certain ammunition and accessories within Pittsburgh city limits.
