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.

It’s not about hunting it’s about keeping the government in check!!!
2A has nothing to do with deer hunting.
This guy shouldn’t talk about guns because he just makes himself look stupid.
Daniel Coneybeer i like using a 7mm. Also.
An ar15 is too small a caliber for deer hunting. What was he thinking.
The .308 winchester on the right is adequate for deer hunting. The 5.56 NATO on the left , which is fired by the AR 15 is not sufficient to kill a deer humanely. Assault weapons are not made to kill efficiently. Hunting weopons are.
You CANNOT HAVE my guns. Period
If you think an ar-15 is appropriate for the defense of a home invasion you are to stupid to be allowed a gun
Let’s discuss the term “well regulated”
James Dancoe what the$#%&!@*are you talking about? Who said anything about an AK? I have several, they are durable. The reason is that they are so sloppily built. Don’t need sighted in because they aren’t accurate to begin with. 300 is a good caliber. I have one too.
