Maybe If You Wish Hard Enough...

Community leaders in the city of Dayton will announce on Wednesday morning a new initiative that they hope will help cut down or eliminate gun violence in the city...

Community leaders said the gun violence is a cycle that they believe needs to stop.

It's bold leadership like this that makes America great.

Why the Elite Support "Gun Control"

Heiress Chelsy Davy, 20, was met by two armed officers as she flew in to Heathrow from Cape Town. Three more joined her in arrivals before she was whisked off in a 4x4.

Permitting the Right: Nuts to That

Nelson was sent to a mental-health center for a 96-hour evaluation in September 2003 over fears he would harm himself. He was evaluated and released with no finding of mental illness or need for treatment.

Last year, he applied for a permit to acquire a weapon. The Callaway County sheriff denied the request, citing a section of law barring people who were committed to a mental-health center from obtaining a permit.
