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 don’ know them sheet covered “deer” might ned this to b sure you got em
AR-15 is only .223 caliber, my 30.06 is way bigger, what’s the problem?
AR 15 is nothing more than a .223 hunting rifle. Works NO DIFFERENT. Only looks all “assaulty an’ stuff”…
And I don’t need you telling me what to down a deer with, take your hidden agenda and shove it up your$#%&!@*
For starters an ar is 223 caliber and that is a marginal at best cartridge for deer hunting, my 300 mag and 7 stw are deer rifles and many times over more powerful than an ar
I did once. Once! Boy what a mess!
And I’ve never heard of a genocide starting with the Armenians in 1917 all the way to Rwanda in the 90’s that the GOVERNMENT didn’t pass gun control to leave the victims defenseless! NEVER AGAIN!!! >:(
If you were good at your job you wouldn’t have any fear of people owning a firearm. …my opinion
Paul Houlihan a mess? 5.56/223 which is what an AR is! isn’t any worse then any other rifle most people go 243 or large which are larger calibers then a 5.56/223
I think he should return the furniture he about stole from the governors mansion
