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 one in our government is talking about the reason for the second am
amendment, besides personal protection, it is the right of the people to protect itself from a tyrannical government..
The people should have to own automatic machine guns with armor tipped bullets, its our right..To kill off a muzzie onslaught to the nation..

“...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.

Indeed... I’ve despised that sonofabitch ever since he hosted that Capone Vault special.

When people look back and ask how did we get to the point of gun confiscation and an unarmed populace, it is this kind of comment they will point to and call the “early days”.

Um, you can kill someone punching them in the head. (If you know what you are doing, all it takes is one clean strike.)

Why is this mother being charged?!

PS Jerry Rivers is not worth of comment beyond this PS.

Lil’ Latrino is just showing his inbred Libtardism. Why the Po’ Thang doesn't even know head punches are considered to involve such risk of serious injury or death that use of a firearm to stop such an attack is generally found to be a legal use of said firearm.

“saggy old Mexican fembo”

I thought Geriatric Rivera was from Lake Titicaca, Peru.
And as a young Peruvian cabana boy back in the ‘30s,
Geriatric belonged to a NYC gayng as a young man: the
Flatbush Gay Lords.
But, saggy: check.
Old: check.
Fembo: absolutely!

Jerry has more blood on his hands than most mass killers from his map in the sand in Tora Bora. Osama Bin Laden escaped when he divulged our military operations live on Fox News. A quick capture of Bin Laden would have saved years of conflict and thousands of lives. But now he wants to preach to us about lawfully owned firearms. Never forget the dead from his actions when you see his mug on TV.

He sure doesn’t sound like he’s more bothered that a whole bunch of people illegally own guns. Doesn’t even seem they are on his radar.

What a toolbag.
