Celebrities, including Tony Bennett and Chris Rock, joined shooting survivors in D.C. to call for increased gun regulations.
It's part of a high-profile campaign by Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a group started by billionaire New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
But even with money and star power, it's still unclear if Congress is listening. The hot button issues of assault weapons and high capacity magazines already seem to be taking a backseat to more modest legislation on background checks.
