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.

Apparently, many of you are quite confused as to what the AR platform is capable of. The only AR that I use with a .223 upper is an SBR. Every other upper I use is the
.300 BLK, 6.5 Grendel, and 6.8 SPC. All are EXCELLENT for deer. I’ve always found it humorous that the majority of “gun guys” honestly have no clue as to what the AR platform truly is. It’s literally the most versatile firearm on the market today.
El Stupido jerk of it’s not about hunting.
Don’t know what an ad has to do with deer… Was he suggesting the second amendment was for dear hunting? Lol
Daniel Coneybeer why would you use a .223 upper on your AR-15 to hunt medium game with? Change your upper to a
.270
The 2nd amendment isn’t about deer hunting! It’s about hunting threats foreign and DOMESTIC!
How is it not an AR-15? The .300 uses the exact same BCG and magazine. You just swap uppers.
My AR is chambered in 6.8 SPC. Which means it’s a .270, so… Yeah, about that…
I’ve not met many hunters who use a larger caliber than my .458 SOCOM AR-15.
I’ll put money on my .458 AR-15 out performing and out hitting your puny
.308 everyday of the week.
Looked at it, a little slow, plenty of muzzle energy. Lacking past 100 meters. About the same as .444 marlin. Not impressed
