A group of Alabama protesters showed up at the Alabama State House Wednesday in Montgomery to voice their disdain for the National Rifle Association (NRA).

In the video sent to Yellowhammer News, protesters can be heard chanting, “The NRA has got to go.”

Democratic congressional hopeful Tabitha Isner tweeted Wednesday that she was at the Alabama State House as students, joined by a mix of older people, pushing for common sense gun reform.
