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.

Just out of curiosity…. How many of you have ever defended yourself with a gun?
I already know the statistics. I am just wondering if you will lie.
You know what it means if you have to lie to make your point right?
No, they usually use a .308 or .30-06.
its not about hunting fool its about keeping you in line !!!!!!!
Very good point.. No “self respecting deer hunter” would need an AR15. The AR-15 while perfectly capable of taking a deer is no super weapon. Most people aren’t going to put more than one round in a deer. A larger caliber leaves more room
For error, and is normally more accurate in a bolt action. Just goes to show how little the idiot knows.
But we have met communist before…and you are one…Mr. tax tax tax man..
But it does say ! Necessary to secure a free state …. &…
“not to be infringed” !
I doubt he’s ever met a hunter
Ban snow storms! over 25 people dead ! And no executive order from our dictator?
The AR-15 is not for deer stupid it is for the rioters and gang bangers that want to kill your family and burn your house down –GET IT !!! like they did in BALTIMORE OR HAVE YOU FORGOT–POLICE RAN AWAY PER ORDERS.
Yes we will be a almost all republican country very soon ! Democrats are covering up the destruction of our freedoms ! And not slowly but surely but?… right fn now !
