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.

Where in the 2nd Amendment is hunting mentioned?
Mr O’Malley.. Obviously you don’t get around too much, but ratchet -jaw when you want a political office, probably one you cannot even handle since you don’t much about deer hunting, weapons and the constitution.
Those are for home invading thugs, looters, rioters, and such. Not meant for hunting, meant for protection.
The second amendment is not about deer hunting you idiot commie!!
Jessie Stone sorry brother not in WA state
If we hunt with one there are a lot of game coyotes are a big hit as you run into more than one but home security its best
To possess a firearm its not about hunting its all about the right to possess a firearm without the government or anyone else tell me what I can own period end of discussion.
and I’ve never saw a government so communistic before either…only my Father warned of it one day…its sneaking up called socialism.
We need those AR-15 just in case our Government goes nuts on us and it’s looking as it’s on a fast pace. When your Government starts wanting you guns, you can bet your Government is no longer to be trusted.
No, we deer hunters keep the AR-15’s to defend ourselves from a corrupt run-away liberal/socialist government that just “may” try to take away ALL of our rights.
