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)

No fox news is not conservative. They have been on board The Cheap Labor Express for some time

Employing Horrendous Revolver is beyond the pale, though.

Creepy, untrained people like Geraldo Rivera who know nothing about firearms.

Actually, they keep a couple of fringe lunatic liberals like Geraldo, Alan Combs, and Juan Williams on staff to frequently remind viewers of what we are up against. The provide some comic relief with alot of their views too. They are no match for most Fox contributors.

It's too bad this no talent hack is given a stage to voice his useless opinions, plus getting over $2MILLION a year to do it!

But, that's America.

He’s still pi$$ed that he didn’t find at least one gun in Al Capone’s vault.

Far too idiots live in America. More to the point, far too many idiots work in the new industry.

Didn’t he fire a machine gun to open the vault? Well, at lest he approved this method. Call me a firearm safety nut, but this does not seem to be either an appropriate or safe use of an automatic weapon, though sadly this exact topic was not covered when I went to machine gun (0331) school.

personally I think far to many liberal and socialist journalists use free speech legally, and we all know that the injudicious use of speech kills. Just ask Al sharpton about Yankel Rosenbaum.

I would bet money that Geraldo owns a number of guns. He's just the type who would think that little untrained people shouldn't own guns, because they're not as qualified or responsible as him.

In his mind, he's some kind of trained ninja superhero, rather than a saggy old mexican fembo.

One of the creepiest things I’ve seen in a long while was Rivera posing in front of a mirror practically naked.
And I believe he shared this spectacle a la ‘Carlos Danger’.

The power of the Media is demonstrated by the fact that this insane s***bird still preens before cameras sharing his 20th century leftist opinions with a repulsed audience.

“I think that there are far too many creepy, untrained people with deadly weapons”

I remember your daytime tv “Talk Show”, Jerry. You’re in no position to call anyone creepy.

As for untrained, I agree with that. More people need to spend time at the range to maximize their chances of hitting center of mass.

“in their possession legally, and I lament that. [But] that’s a gun control argument that I can never win.”

For now, and in spite of the best efforts of your buddies in the current administration.
