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.

I don’t know any self respecting Government leader that needs more than one body guard with a 38 special pistol, don’t need more than that to take down killer
Hunters don’t use AR15’s to hunt!!! Defend their families and property?? Damn straight!!! they do!!
Idiot 2% in the polls whose the idiots donatingoney to a failure
That’s like him saying that he’s never met a self-respecting, professional driver who tried to use his Ford Taurus to pull a 53 foot semi trailer loaded with cargo to its destination. The right tool for the right job is what really is at issue with these idiot politicians who constantly compare apples to oranges as their rationale for their agendas. We also don’t use a phillips screwdriver to remove a hex head bolt. DUH!!!! He’s probably never used a hand tool in his mean little life!
These guns are for whatever purpose we need them for whether you like it or not !!
You never met a American that will pick up his arms against enemy foreign or domestic either.
True..I’m just sayin O’Mally makes it sound like an AR15 is a monster gun as far as deer hunting goes. He’s obviously not knowledgable about guns. I’ve always wondered if they knew how powerful a 30-06 or .458 was if they wouldn’t put more emphasis on trying to ban hunting guns.
Good thing its not up to this omalley guy. Not your choice. The people have spoken with record gun sales
Just another worthless$#%&!@*democrat . I think they’re ALL FING IDIOTS .
