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)

Seems to make sense.

Geraldo is a turd. A libtard that should be sent out the streets and let him confront some of the thugs that are such law abiding citizens.

[VerySadAmerican]

Geraldo is far too creepy to own a gun.

[gingerbread]

I’m willing to bet that Jeraldo owns a gun or two. That’s always the problem with these LIBERALS, SOCIALISTS and COMMUNISTS. Their mantra is; “DON’T DO AS I DO, DO AS I SAY”

[ScottinVA]

Well, I’d go halfway on this gun control issue. Because liberalism is a mental disorder of the worst kind, no one who espouses liberal points of view should ever be allowed to own anything more lethal than a pea shooter.. and they should be required to provide justification for that as well.

For the children, you know.

Who continues to let Jerry out of the basement at FOX?

[b4its2late]

Jerry shoulda been off the tube years ago.

[poobear]

Jerry, go take a naked ‘selfie’ you dried up old prune!

[Red in Blue PA]

That is what I got out of the story too.....Geraldo hates me having a gun so keep walking.

[Red in Blue PA]

What about all of the creepy untrained people giving us their version of “news”?

Surely we need to regulate who gets into the industry.

[trebb]

Fox may not be conservative in full, but as far as news agencies go, they have a much better sense of perspective. Using Geraldo or Colmes as reason to make a blanket statement is just taking a back-handed swat at the most viable counterpart to CBS MSNBC, etc....

[Fresh Wind]

Gee, thanks. I almost lost my breakfast.

[Caipirabob]

At least he is consistent with his contribution to modern journalism.

[stockpirate]

This from a man who owns a firearm, if not several.

[MeshugeMikey]

sorry bout dat. this should provide an inspiration to last until at least wednesday

[MeshugeMikey]

and if they play thier cards right after the next election..they can probably manage to snag Hillary Clinton as a regular panelist .,

[BigCinBigD]

I hear he keeps his guns in Al Capone’s vault.

[SisterK]

Jerry Rivers, you are so irrelevant

[Straight Vermonter]

Gun ownership in the US is about double the rate of that in Europe. Blacks in the US own guns at about the same rate as Europeans.

The rate of gun homicides by white Americans is roughly the same in the US and Europe. The rate by black Americans however is about 3X that of whites.

The stats seem to say the problem is not gun ownership at all.

[M Kehoe]

If I want Jerry Rivers opinion, I'll throw a quarter down his pie hole and crank his arm.
