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.

There are an enormous number of people that hunt with ar style rifles
Lots of self respecting deer hunters in Indiana hunt deer with AR rifles because there are few cartridges that are legal – like 458 SOCOM and 450 Bushmaster – that you can only get in an AR.

Amen Brother
Where I live people use Ar for coyote, since the .223 rounds are illegal for deer season.
It’s none of his damn business what we bring a deer or burglar down with.
Second amendment has ZERO to do with hunting ……. What a dumb ass
That’s the issue. They’re making ammo rarer and more expensive. They’ll price ammo out of the general publics market and that will be the takeover.
I doubt he would even recognize a self respecting citizen, let alone a deer hunter
