The Democrats just never get tired of trying to promote gun control to gun owners and failing miserably. Of course, this is because many of them simply can’t relate to them, as was made painfully apparent this weekend.
Speaking at the NBC/Youtube Democratic debate on Sunday, former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley defended his position on gun control by touting his relationship with gun owners. Attempting to defend his anti-Second Amendment record, O’Malley claimed that he’s, “never met a self-respecting deer hunter that needed an AR-15 to down a deer.”
Setting aside the unlikelihood of his claim that he regularly fraternizes with gun owners and deer hunters, O’Malley’s statement is stupefying. Yes, maybe deer hunters don’t need AR-15’s to shoot deer, but have you considered the possibility that maybe, just maybe, they need them to defend themselves?
To be fair, O’Malley, with his well-trained security escorts, probably doesn’t understand why anybody would need an AR-15 to protect themselves and their family. It should, however, keep him from opening his mouth on topics that he has little understanding of.

The 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with hunting. #enoughsaid
I’ve never met a self-respecting Democrat that needed to read the constitution to know our rights
When will the leftwing understand that the 2A was never intended for hunting but to defend ourselves from tyrannical governments…
An AR-15 is NOT for taking a deer down LAME$#%&!@*it’s for self defense !!! These LIBTARD’S are beyond belief !!! TRUMP 2016 !!!
The reason a person keeps an AR15 is none of your business.
Preference of what you want to hunt with
2nd amendment does not limit, you right expands with the ability of the enemy. It is there to protect us from over reaching government. Not the other way around. If you don’t like the 2nd then you don’t like the rest of the Constitution.
Yeah well he doesn’t need to make more than a retired army veteran either…..
your right it’s too small infact it’s illegal in WA to hunt deer with anything less than .224.
Deer aren’t why we need AR-15s Mr. Omally. People like you are.
AR 15s are for people like you.
