FNC’s Rivera: This Country Has Gone Crazy, Drunk ‘Hooked on Weapons’
Breitbart ^ | 05/17/2022 | Pam Key

Posted on 05/17/2022 5:00:44 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Fox News Channel’s Geraldo Rivera told his co-host Tuesday on FNC’s “The Five” that American was “hooked on weapons” while discussing of the mass shooting in Buffalo, NY, on Saturday.

Rivera said, “Can I tell you about a dinner I had with President Trump in February 2018, the day after the Parkland school massacre? He and the first lady had just visited the victims in the hospital. He came to the dinner. He was rattled. It was a private dinner at Mar-a-Lago. Eric and Don Jr. were there, and Laura, but it was just us. And we were really head to head. The president asked, ‘What can I do? Those wounds were horrible.’ The rifle that Cruz had used to kill these 17 kids was — these wounds, they looked like war victims. And I said, ‘The kid is underaged. Why don’t you pass a juvenile assault weapons ban? A juvenile assault weapons ban. If you can’t buy a beer, you can’t buy an AR. If you can’t drive a semi, you can’t have an assault weapon. What’s wrong with that?'”

Why so many guns? Not an antigunner I own a few myself but my thinking I’d need to keep an variety of rounds for each weapon,even assuming many are the same caliber. And the headache of maintenance and parts. I’d rather have a few for each situation, a few handguns,a few rifles and a couple of shotguns. Family and friends have their own so no need for loaners Just curious about it.

Why not? I don't share your feelings. Some of us like to tinker and experiment.

Well ... you defunded the police, so when seconds count - the police will be there in minutes.

That is a correct ruling according to the law.

Either you are legally an adult or not at 18. I’d be good with 21 myself. Even then you have too many boneheads these days.

Most people don’t realize how easy it was to access guns during most of our history.

My dad was 15 or 16 when he bought his first gun. It was a mail order rifle from either Sears and Roebuck or Montgomery Ward. He had guns the rest of his life.

COME ON, Jerry Rivers! PLEASE COME and try to take our weapons away down here in the South. It won’t go like it did in the 1860s. We MAKE firearms here now.

“Today we need a nation of minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take up arms, but citizens who are not only prepared to take up arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as part of there daily life,and are willing to constantly work for that freedom. JFK-who would be called a right wing extremist today.

I have been shooting since my grandfather had to hold up the end of the rifle for me. I am 74 years of age today. I have many weapons and fire them on my own range at my home. It is fun and a paper target is in dire danger of my rifles. I have never raised a weapon in anger. I carry a weapon just for legal defense of self and innocents. I wish not to fire my weapons at a human but will if necessary. I am very good with such.

I do not even hunt anymore. I lost the joy of killing game animals but have no problems with ethical hunters. I just do not want to kill anymore unless it is vermin on my land which I dispatch efficiently. My friend hunts my land and we share the venison and turkey, it is delicious. We have put over 100 pounds of deer in the freezer this year as in past years. We clean and process it ourselves to most excellent standards. It tastes wonderful.

Geraldo (Jerry Rivers) Rivera is the slimy hypocrite who was hired to help the New York State dump mentally ill people on the streets instead of adequately funding their treatment in institutions.

... that their under 21 ban on the sale of “assault weapons” is unconstitutional.

I don't think the recent ruling mentioned "assault weapons". I believe it was regarding "semi-automatic rifles".

Even people 21 or over can't buy "assault weapons" in California. It's far too dangerous for people to keep and bear arms that have pistol grips on them. Or those very lethal flash suppressors. And don't even get me started on the evils of having an adjustable stock.

I’m hooked on guns because I don’t trust assholes or politicians, both are the same.

Remember, guns don’t kill people, Alex Baldwin kills people!

Yep. My dad grew up on a farm and went to school in a one-room schoolhouse. The farm kids all brought their guns to school, and by some miracle they never shot each other. Imagine that.

The problem isn’t guns, it’s the sick culture that the leftists have created.

Yes. Let’s not hear what the other side is saying so we can better argue against them. We want to continue to spout off taking points and live in our own echo chamber. /s

The last thing I want to do is silence the left. I want them to keep talking. The more they talk, the more they make our points.
