Students demanding gun control and counter-protesters defending Second Amendment rights are both expected to march on Utah’s Capitol Hill Saturday, continuing a national discussion sparked by the fatal February shooting at a Florida high school.
The Utah demonstrations will be part of what could become one of the largest marches in U.S. history, with nearly 1 million people expected to turn out Saturday in Washington, D.C., and more than 800 sister marches from California to Japan.
Participants in the student-led protest March for Our Lives SLC, hosted by the Gun Violence Prevention Center of Utah, plan to meet at West High School in Salt lake city at 11 a.
