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.

Many so called assault rifles are 223 caliber. Most deer hunters use a rifle with a more powerful caliber so his statement really shows a lack of knowledge.
It is not about hunting…
Probably never met a self respecting, or nonself respecting deer hunter. PERIOD
Hey you stupid$#%&!@*ar 15 ‘s ain’t for hunting anyway!
We will need them soon for these animals ! They are fat enough to slaughter !
Someone should inform this$#%&!@*that the 2nd amendment has nothing to do with hunting.
Remove the ar and got a semi auto rifle, dumb asses
Tell the truth why it was written it has nothing too do with hunting it has to do with citizens saving the republic from assholed like u
Have you lost your mind ? 22 caliber??
AR-15 is typically chambered in .223 or .556 and is a pretty small bullet for humainly taking a deer – which is why I prefer the AR-10 chambered in .308 Win
