<p>Fox News host Jesse Watters wasn&#8217;t quite convinced when &#8220;The Five&#8221; co-host Geraldo Rivera floated an age-based weapons ban that would prevent 18-year-olds from purchasing certain firearms.</p>
<p>Rivera cited the ages of several recent <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/breaking-shooting-at-texas-elementary-school-leaves-at-least-15-dead/">mass shooting suspects</a> and argued that even at 18, teenagers were not mature enough to be trusted with certain types of weapons — but Watters pushed back, arguing that if they were old enough to die for their country, they should be old enough to exercise their constitutional rights.</p>

<p>Judge Jeanine Pirro began the segment by asking Rivera what measures he thought schools should implement in their efforts to keep students safe, and he said that the unfortunate reality — as several of his co-hosts had already noted — that people intent on causing harm often found a way around such security measure in order to do it.</p>
<p>Rivera then reflected briefly on gubernatorial hopeful Beto O&#8217;Rourke (D-TX) — who crashed Governor Greg Abbott&#8217;s Wednesday <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/very-clearly-staged-cbs-reporter-says-beto-used-seat-holders-to-slip-into-abbott-presser-unnoticed/">press conference</a> to scold him for failing to enact gun control measures — and President Joe Biden, who <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/its-just-sick-biden-uses-school-shooting-address-to-slam-gun-lobby/">took aim</a> at the &#8220;gun lobby&#8221; during his Tuesday remarks addressing the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.</p>
<p>&#8220;What is offensive about Beto O’Rourke — and to a different degree to the President of the United States is railing against the gun lobby last night — no one is suggesting anything that really can guarantee total protection for our children,&#8221; Rivera continued. &#8220;But we can suggest some concrete steps.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rivera went on to say that it was important to &#8220;recognize the erratic nature of teenagers,&#8221; and he listed off the ages of several recent mass shooting suspects before suggesting &#8220;a Juvenile assault weapons ban.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;If you can&#8217;t buy a beer, if you can&#8217;t get a license to drive a semi, until you are 21, how is it okay for you to be able to buy legally a weapon of war, an assault weapon when you are 18?&#8221; Rivera asked.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, you can fight and die for your country at 18,&#8221; Watters pushed back.</p>
<p>&#8220;But then you&#8217;re monitored by corporals and sergeants and officers —&#8221; Rivera continued.</p>
<p>&#8220;You can’t get a handgun until you are 21 legally,&#8221; co-host Martha MacCallum objected.</p>
<p>&#8220;They don’t use a handgun,&#8221; Rivera protested. &#8220;These people only use handguns when they run out of ammo in the long guns. &#8230; Juvenile assault weapons ban do something. This could be Republicans and Democrats together, Right, Left, red, blue —&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You are stripping a Constitutional right away from law abiding citizens because of some wacko,&#8221; Watters pointed out, still apparently unconvinced.</p>
