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 wonder why them democrats have such a hard time with understanding that the second amendment was written to protect the people from a tyrannical government. You would only have a problem with such weapons existing if you were trying to be tyrannical.
the constitution don’t say the rights to bear arms for hunting. Choose to have what you want to shoot, not a bunch of$#%&!@*holes to say what you can have. .
Not a matter of need, but a matter of choice!
The Constitution does not say a thing about hunting, it is about protecting your freedom and rights from those who would use the cover of government to advance their own agenda, just like what has happened for too long and has been kicked into a higher gear by the present administration.
As usual they know nothing but act like an authority.
The 2nd amendment isn’t about what one needs for hunting. That is irrelevant. It is about a citizens right. Period. End of discussion. However if you do want to talk about needs. No citizen or legislator NEEDS to stick his nose in my private business as to my guns, ammunition or how many six packs I have in my refridgerator!!
Nincompoop!
Amen. When there are 30 hogs in the field in front of you, and AR is the best weapon.
Use them for does. Right in the neck to preserve good meat.
I never met a political that wasn’t on the take
