Oh, the parents of the 8 year old girl who brought her to an automatic weapons shop are not right. Not at all.

It takes people with brains and morals to continue a democracy.

And Geraldo’s point is not any more correct than are these people

Typical - Jerry calls himself a Libertarian but on most issues important to liberals, like race, illegal immigration and gun control. he lines up with liberals every time.

And like liberals, he wants to pick and choose which parts of the constitution should be ignored.

We already have a president who does exactly that.

And like the president and other liberals he resorts to name calling and identity politics when he can’t win a debate on fact and substance.

In this case Jerry doesn’t agree with something in the constitution so in his mind it is ‘blind and stupid’, the country is ‘crazy’ and being pushed into ‘insanity’ by those who do believe the constitution means what it says.

Constitutionalists are ‘pimping’, ‘mental patients’, ‘jerk-offs on the no-fly list’ and ‘all-around dim bulbs’.

You raise a very interesting point, Mr. Rivera, why don’t you lead a charge to repeal part of the Bill or Rights?

You know, I just realized that the Creator is kind of like the cable company in this matter of Natural Rights.

Meaning that there isn't a menu or smorgasbord of Natural Rights that you can pick and choose, kind of like you don't get to pick and choose the basic channels the cable company gives you. The Creator endowed you just like it says in the Declaration, and it is what it is.

Now, if Geraldo and his ilk want to drop their Natural Rights "cable" because they object to the Second Amendment Channel, then they're welcome to do that. They can go hang out with the Islamists, who also don't believe in Natural Rights.

Like I always say, the 2nd Amendment, the provision that gives every American the right to keep and bear arms, is blind and stupid.

...and if anyone knows about blind and stupid, it's Geraldo Rivera!

geraldo, it protects a right we already have. it doesn’t grant the right.

of course he doesn’t understand the difference.

The same sort of faulty argument could be made against the 1st or the 4th amendment.

I can use faulty logic to argue for the banning of cars.

Some people can’t be trusted with a car.
Lives would be saved.
etc..etc.. It’s low IQ reasoning.

You see, to be free is to be at some risk. I choose to be free and at risk.

It didn’t take our local “fish wrap” long to jump all over this one with the following:

“God bless America. We legislate against sharia law in places where there are no Muslims, much less an inclination toward sharia. We pass laws to curtail election fraud despite the fact that election fraud, as a practical matter, does not exist. Yet we endure a yearly toll of gun carnage that makes civilized people in civilized places shake their heads in wonder, and our only action is inaction.”
