Friday's with Geraldo segment tonight as we've been reporting Democrats have been pushing new gun laws in the wake of the massacre in Newtown Connecticut.

But now the leader of the pack vice president Joseph Biden is telling reporters the new gun laws probably wouldn't prevent another -- Quote.

Nothing we're going to do is going to fundamentally Alter or eliminate the possibility of another mass shooting.

But there are things that we can -- That have virtually zero impact on our Second Amendment right to own a weapon for both self defense and recreation.

That can save some lives on club.

Joining us now from the -- Fox News host.

Geraldo Rivera are lower are all though it's great to see you what about -- now and he's he's Aggies.

It's -- is sounding like he couldn't say something on my radio shots I got something I would have sat I thought well.

-- -- personal I think the vice president is absolutely correct when you consider that he's grotesque.

Massacres perpetrated.

By a crazy people wielding.

Assault style weapons -- extended magazines are tiny percentage.

Of the victims of gun violence in the country.

Banning the assault weapon banning the extended magazine although I am in -- doing whatever we can are largely symbolic.

Efforts -- was absolutely right about that I think that what he's alluding to Laura is the push for universal.

Background checks on all gun sales including those private sales in the transactions.

Totally privately or at gun shows where they put up a sign that says private sale and therefore exempt themselves from federal gun background checks I think everyone who sells -- transfers a gun.

She had should.

Have a -- background check Donna on the purchaser I think erected should be made -- -- lost stolen I I think that that's a good idea that can.

Be helpful but I've got a way to do it.

And this is the way to do it.

What vice president Joseph Biden should be pushing right now is to expand New York city's stop and -- law that every police precinct in this country with the level of gun violence rises above a certain threshold level.

We should have.

Every cop if they suspect reasonably that up person is carrying a weapon or doing something nefarious or criminal the cop has the right to pat them down.

-- they -- -- New -- me we can't emulate its mean.

We'll be against that.

I imagine groups like lacrosse so we'll have problems that would that a maniac I can see the ACLU all over that that's -- and one thing overall though.

-- telling from what Biden said though.

Most of the that they killings in places like Chicago for -- they take place with handguns are not not and not just -- knocked a nine millimeter with fifteen.

Bullets in the magazine type deals but.

About 38 specials meet these are -- are going to be banned so the idea of banning made AR fifteen what the point 6% of all.

Killing his -- committed with that that kind of quote assault weapons so that that's silly it isn't it concession.

By the White House -- -- that they know they're not gonna get anything like that for him I.

It might be a concession by the White House to -- is possible because they know they're not going to get the assault weapons through.

But you mentioned Chicago compare Chicago with New York, New York has stop and -- Chicago has three and a half times more murder per capita up doesn't work and directed an -- and -- -- Absolutely more down by -- so you have -- -- -- idea.

You see a gang banger a bunch of them hanging out on the street.

That topic that's -- -- precinct that has a certain level of gun violence that cap -- a right to go rounds those kids all right what are you doing here I yeah I already got your pocket let me get that statement -- -- a lot of hate that -- violence by going to the.

Criminal -- perpetrators not me I'm AJ chest -- all that definitely a -- almost out of time.

HHS.

Contraceptive -- contraception.

Mandate Ali's lawsuits about forty or so filed.

Against the administration.

Most on I'm religious grounds now HHS comes out with that -- slightly expanded.

Exemption tell us about.

Well the exemption -- of the -- for the the name of the company the hobby -- hobby lobby right.

Hobby lobby is Christian owner of this -- -- chain.

Who said that he is not going to provide.

Abortion related services or birth control related services.

Because he.

Personally as a Christian opposes it.

Now the they -- expanded exemptions.

To the federal mandate for having contraception.

Coverage and and coverage for good morning after pills and and so forth only applies really to nonprofits so hobby lobby still -- -- -- -- -- something what I say is in this case.

Have the groups that are pro choice up pro abortion.

Create up pool and insurance pool entirely -- bit.

So that people like this conscientious Christian hobby lobby owner don't have to do something that is reprehensible.

To his personal more I thought -- let and in private people provide.

That service so everybody has access and -- -- but you don't force to benefit.

A lot of narrow this exemption is still quite narrow and it's it's just religious institutions that are -- profit.

-- -- -- listening to that you you're sounding like you're putting together policy paper it's almost like that's future senator how did you did you.

That literally lower dollar so I think you got stop and frisk you got the HHS full of love new types of insurance are you serious about the -- -- when -- I mean I seriously contemplating my wife Erica and I are talking about it we are exploring it very excited as New Jersey residents weekend.

A revive we think the the moribund GOP.

In the garden state hopefully get the support of people like.

Our incomparable governor Chris Christie and now is that I've got my my fingers crossed and I'm.

Also probing it but it's something we are seriously consider yes it.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- The fear -- going to Jersey yeah --
