Joining @IAmSteveHarvey today to continue the conversation he's
been having on guns in America. Don't miss it!
"We've got to say to the gun lobby, you know what, there is a constitutional right for people to own guns.

The Butchering Beast of Benghazi feels the whole issue is beneath her..
I never thought I'd see the day that phrase dropped from Hillary's ugly lips.
