But Geraldo is showing the incredible ignorance that much of the liberal media shows \u2014 they have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to guns. All they know is what the current talking point is \u2014 that AR-15s are evil and machine guns.<\/p>\n<p>It would be easy to believe that they would have been more educated by 2023. But they can\u2019t be bothered with the truth when they\u2019re more occupied with pushing the talking points.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, it\u2019s not just the liberal media like Geraldo who don\u2019t know what they\u2019re talking about when it comes to guns, it\u2019s politicians and people involved in making policy and passing laws who are also equally as ignorant.<\/p>\n<p>Geraldo also mentioned that he believes more IRS agents are needed, which is in line with another point made by the Democrats. It is not good to trample on the rights of Americans with regard to guns and be all in on weaponizing IRS. What are Democrats yelling about? \u201cmisinformation\u201d When Geraldo is pushing this liberal mantra?<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Gun people can be found in the replies explaining what AR really stands for. Geraldo&#8217;s belief that the AR-15 isn&#8217;t a rifle is even more remarkable. He believes the AR stands for Automatic Rifle. This video is just a great example of that logic. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/s3FL35Rh27\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/t.co\/s3FL35Rh27<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Sean Fitzgerald (Actual Justice Warrior) (@IamSean90) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IamSean90\/status\/1615503262723248129?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">January 18, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;With an average of 13,657 homicides per year during the 2007-2017 timeframe, about one-tenth of one percent of homicides were produced by mass shootings involving AR-15s.&#8221;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/w27TmWTs28\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/t.co\/w27TmWTs28<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jon Miltimore (@miltimore79) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/miltimore79\/status\/1615480657202876417?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">January 17, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>At least he didn\u2019t talk about <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/nick-arama\/2023\/01\/16\/joe-biden-tells-americans-to-get-f-15s-if-they-want-to-take-on-the-government-n689543\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cdeer in kevlar vests\u201d <\/a>Tell Americans to get F-15s if you want to fight the government.
