Geraldo Rivera: ‘Far Too Many’ Americans Own Guns Legally
Breitbart's Big Journalism ^ | February 27, 2015 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 02/28/2015 8:03:20 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

On Friday, Fox News’ Geraldo Rivera said he “lament(s)” that the number of guns that are in America, including the guns that guns that people possess “legally.”

Rivera said these things during an appearance on Fox & Friends, after being asked to comment on a mom who had pulled a gun to stop a fight where one girl pinned another girl on the ground and was punching her in the head repeatedly.

The mother has been “charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.”

After watching the cell phone footage of the incident, Rivera responded: “First, I’ll talk about the guns. I think that there are far too many creepy, untrained people with deadly weapons in their possession legally, and I lament that. [But] that’s a gun control argument that I can never win.”(continued)

What is the question? I don’t think that I said anything that was untrue. You seem a bit perplexed.

Good 'ol Jerry Rivers expounding on that which he knows nothing about as always.

Well, to be fair, those are the only types of things he CAN expound on....

This can't end well, folks. This "Noo Yawk" perspective, and the distance between that and the Free States, is too enormous to ever be spanned. We cannot continue as a single country. It's all over but the war and the sundering.

Ah, after reading my response, maybe you took this personally instead of the general statement: “so just get over your anti-Conservative views!”

This was not meant toward you, but the generic public.

“...who had pulled a gun to stop a fight where one girl pinned another girl on the ground and was punching her in the head repeatedly.”
Here in Washington State that is a felony assault, which can be legally stopped if necessary by shooting the person. Of course, just pulling the weapon often does the trick, as in this case.

In NC we reciprocate concealed carry with Washington state. But this is interesting because in NC it is against the law to shoot someone fighting with another person. I suppose it applies to strangers where you don’t know who is the ‘bad guy’

The most aggravating thing for me is that Geraldo doesn’t really have a problem with guns. I’m sure he likes to pose in front of his bathroom mirror with all his different guns.

He has a problem with other people having guns, like most lefties.

This Puerto Rican butt plug is a lot like Morton Downey, Jr., Jerry Springer or even Phil Donahue, but a lot stupider than even Phil and with even less dignity than an Al Sharpton. He’s one of the main reasons I haven’t watched Fox in years.

Nope - it can be in defense of a stranger, as long as everyone is legally where they are allowed to be. Weird wording - but covers private place, public, etc.

But yes - one best be sure of what the circumstances are. I have stopped a few times just to see where the yelling and screaming leads, but it has always been so chaotic (and never turned physical) it would be hard to determine what was what.

Although I suppose it doesn’t matter who/what started it, at some point the person having control over someone and beating them to a bloody pulp would be the criminal. Unless of course it was the dad of a recently raped daughter “trying to apprehend” the rapist.

I was just thinking this same thing yesterday. Never ever thought I would miss Beckel.

I'm tired of Juan yelling at everyone in his "conversational" voice. It's like someone posting in all caps.

“How’s the beak these days, Jerry?”

LOL. That was classic seeing a skinhead bounce a metal chair off his thick skull.

But it’s ok for all of Holder’s people to own them illegally.

When I hear him flap his gums I want to go out and buy another gun for spite.
