Hundreds of mayors from across nation converge on the Greater Columbus Convention Center this weekend where they will discuss topics that include guns
One of the solutions put forward by the far left for gun violence across the nation — to simply defund the police —"was a serious waste of time" in addressing the gun problem, Lucas said.

Lucas will also highlight a Missouri law called the"Second Amendment Preservation Act," where the state legislature has attempted to thwart local and federal law enforcement from working together on anything gun control-related.
