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.

then he should try to remove the deer from a hunter and see what happens
Ron Johnson still drop one. Was told .270 was light for elk. Vets, we know how to place a shot.
Lying casino pig
I don’t need an AR but it does a great job one round at a time.
Bret Hankes, I’m currently building a 6.5 Grendel for hunting. You beat me to that comment. Also though 5.56 or .223 is widely used for the hunting of pigs and coyotes, but the don’t see that.
Stooooopid
Mr. O’Malley, you couldn’t be more ignorant. You obviously haven’t done any research before opening your mouth. The ammo used in an AR-15 has about 1500 ft-lbs of energy (the most important factor when choosing ammo) and a typical round used by hunters, the 30-06 ammo, has about 3000 ft-lbs of energy. The AR-15 round is fast but much smaller, creating only half the energy. Most deer hunters wouldn’t use the AR-15 because of lack of energy, not because it’s too powerful. Your moronic comment implies that it is too large for hunting and therefore is much too powerful for anyone to own. What gives you the right to determine what anyone needs? Who made you the gun police? If you don’t know what you’re talking about, STFU!
Any self respecting hunter would go out of his/her way to avoid being seen with an idiot such as you
it’s to use for many things, hog hunting for one, protecting us from people like you for another
People are buying guns now In case we have to fight this Muslim radical piece of c**p Nino goberment
