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.

And this dummocrat was mayor of Baltimore and governor of Maryland that have some of the strictest gun laws in the country but check out the gun violence there being done by thugs that don’t care about following the laws.
Its not up to just one person, or one minority group to misconceive or misinterpret the 1A… Perception is just that, not fact or even a reality..
George Shepard NYS we can use them for woodchucks, Coyotes & that is about it for hunting. Illegal for deer or bear. Although it will kill them, it would really p**s off a bear enough for him to kill you.
THE 2ND AMENDMENT IS NOT ABOUT DEER HUNTING YOU MORON!
Bret Hankes I’ll take a 300 win mag myself
If these people get their way, they will have armored vehicles and heavy weapons. We will have slingshots.
The AR is for those in gov’t who wish to deprive me of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness..
The 2nd Amendment has ZERO to do with hunting and everything to do with being hunted by our government.The AR is to keep me from being rounded up and put into a boxcar like the Nazis did to the Jewish people. Do I have to draw it out in crayon for you to understand?
