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.”

It appears that we are among the Elite who remember that brilliant pun of name! He spoke with slobber in his teeth. So funny.
Did that information come from Al Capone’s vault.
I submit for your consideration the Armalite AR-10, a select-fire rifle.
I was on a grand jury for three months. Every day we dealt with at least three handgun crimes. Over those 90 days we had a single rifle charge.
Yeah…in my personal experience 9mm handguns are much, much more dangerous.
If a free American wants to buy and own something to make him feel ‘macho’ who is Geraldo or FJB or the government to tell him he can’t?
(Since I’m not Hispanic, I apologize to brown people everywhere for my cultural appropriation of using the word ‘macho’.)
AR-9, semi-auto 12-gauge shotgun (1955 prototype, forerunner of the AR-17)
AR-17, semi-auto 12-gauge shotgun
AR-22, blank firing device for the Mk 19 40 mm grenade launcher (1998–2008)
AR-23, sub-caliber training device for the Mk 19 40 mm grenade launcher (1998–2008)
AR-24, 9 mm pistol (2006–2012)
"AR" stands for ArmaLite - end of story...
;^)
Last night Geraldo told the story about seeing someone who was shot with an AR15 and half his head was gone, so they shouldn’t be allowed because they are so powerful. Someone should tell him that the AR15 is a relatively low powered rifle compared to those in WWI and WWII which would have popped that guys head like a balloon.
Hey jerry....🖕
Sounds to me like the gun performed as designed.
Indeed Geraldo Rivera aka Jerry Rivers doesn’t deal in facts on anything issue he’s hard core leftist and he sucks up to anybody in power everyone is a stepping stone to him it’s how he got as far as he did.
We get all excited when a collectivist says something wrong about firearms. Clips v magazines. Definition of assault rifle. Semiauto v auto. AR v AK.
We lose the argument.
The rules of the game are emotions and intensity beat reason.
We are technical nerds. They are nut punchers. We are responders, they are aggressors.
Geraldo wins the soundbite fight.
Only because the other 4 are as misinformed and couldn't make a fool of him.
And Geraldo is Spanish for mental midget.
Made in Little Rock!
Jerry Rivers-——
Why do people continue to give this moron a megaphone for his nonsensical ideas. The man is a fraud who will say and do anything to get the attention he craves. If any person deserves to be “cancelled” and relegated to the trash heap of history, it’s Jerry Rivers.
Fox tends to follow a formula so they can claim to be “fair and balanced”. This often involves a token “liberal viewpoint” - its part of the “script”.
He knows better. He’s just stirring the pot for relevance.
“AR stands for America’s Rifle...”
Armalite, but yes...
I think Eugene Stoner would agree with me.
I had an original AR-7 that I inherited from my dad, so that was my first AR.
Yes, and the Dallas Cowboys would agree they’re “America’s Team”. LOL
