Rivera, a gun owner, was illustrating that the Second Amendment didn’t cover modern firearms capable of mass killings when the amendment was ratified in 1791. And that AR-15-style rifles go far beyond self-defense. [More]
Ah, the long-debunked “The Founders could have never imagined” bullsh!+.
Figures this moron would be spreading it.
I recall writing an Examiner article years back where a guy was prosecuted for having a muzzleloader in New York City. I can’t find it now and don’t recall the details, but it would be funny if Geraldo incriminated himself.
How he got it in the studio is another question.
And figures, HuffPo would think he won the argument.

I’ll bet most Americans in 1775 would have LOVED to have a ‘high-cap’, magazine fed, semi-auto firearm. For both offence and defence.
well, there WAS at that time and place such a firearm. Girandoni or vry close to that name if memory serves. Forty rounds mag capacity, semiauto, one ball per trigger pull, rate of fre just a bitfaster than one round per second…. HUGELY fast compared to the two minutes per round the Lobsterbacks could muster, and still lightning fast compared to the most skilled and trained Yankees, at a little under a minute per round. The one problem with owning one of these.. they were VERY dear, and few could afford them. But today the existence of this “weapon of war” (NO ONE needed one to shoot deer that fast….) is proof such amazing equipment was indeed available to anyone with a sufficiently large pile of gold coins.
This is not about logic but about emotion fueled control.
At least 3%.
In the same Hannity segment he also threw Trump under the bus.
I pay as much attention to what Geraldo says as I do to what Maher says.
