Geraldo Rivera says ‘whatever’ after discovering his definition of what “AR” stands for was incorrect

On Fox News this week there was some heated gun control debate where Geraldo Rivera talked about AR-15s and maybe should have instead left it to people familiar with the topic and not just tried to push the Left’s preferred narrative:

Rivera responded to Greg Gutfeld’s question about what the “AR” in “AR-15” means and said it stands for “automatic rifle.” Maybe it should be “MG” for “machine gun”:
 

He literally said “it’s a machine gun.” Get this idiot off television. https://t.co/Cs9zpAZiuU

Add it all up and Rivera responded in a very familiar way. This happens a lot — a gun control advocate will make a claim about guns, get proven wrong, and then dismiss it as not really mattering because at the end of the day guns can kill people:
 

Heard the Daily Caller and fellow travelers are ranting about my incorrect definition on-air of “AR” as in AR-15. Whatever. Point is, there is no place (other than sporting clubs and similar skilled settings) for assault rifles.
They’re substitute appendages.
