FOX News personality Geraldo Rivera backed President Biden’s push for an “assault weapons” ban and said that the “AR” in AR-15 stands for “automatic rifle” on Tuesday’s The Five.
Newsweek quoted Rivera telling the co-hosts, “I submit to you, ladies and gentlemen, there is no legitimate reason … to have an AR-15.”
He described the AR-15 as a “machine gun” that people own in order to make them feel “macho.”

Show the guy a mini-14 and an AR15. He would think the AR is worse.
He is ignorant.

This is dumb, even for GR.

I thought that people grew inordinate moustaches to "feel macho"...

Rivera contributes to the demonization of the AR-15. If the left succeeds in outlawing the AR, all semi automatic weapons will shortly follow. We all know their game plan. The house has to hold the line.

Well, “AR” could stand for “Arsehole Remover” ... but actually stands for “Armalite,” the original manufacturer of the firearm.
Oh, and no AR is a “machine gun.” AR pattern rifles are all semi-auto (or, in the case of a very few custom versions, bolt action). The M series (M-16 and M-4) are the ones that are full auto from the beginning. Yes, I am aware that an AR can be converted into a full auto, but no one can buy them like that at a gun shop.
Oh, and Geraldo is an ignorant, agenda-driven, media whore.

A 5 second Google search brings up the following
The AR in "AR-15" rifle stands for ArmaLite rifle, after the company that developed it in. the 1950s.
This dumbass couldn't even be bothered to do 5 seconds of research. That is the state of us mainstream media.
