DALLAS (Reuters) - Protesters on both sides of the U.S. gun debate took to the streets on Saturday outside the National Rifle Association's annual meeting in Dallas after the latest in a long series of mass shootings put the issue back in the spotlight.

Across the street from the convention centre where President Donald Trump addressed NRA members on Friday, a "Rally4Reform" drew about 200 demonstrators demanding tighter restrictions on firearms sales. Many were dressed in the orange that has become the colour of the gun control movement.
