WASHINGTON -- Demonstrators gathered outside the U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday on the anniversary of the shootings at Virginia Tech to protest gun laws.

A group of 32 demonstrators lay down on the court's steps to demand stricter gun control regulations.

Student gunman Seung-Hue Cho killed 32 faculty and students last year.

The protestors stayed on the ground for three minutes, which symbolized the time they said it takes for a person to buy a gun in the United States.
