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.

The type of gun you hunt deer with is irrelevant. Shall not be infringed is what’s relevant. Stop trying to make gun ownership about hunting. The second amendment has nothing to do with deer.
They need high capacity clips because people like you think we pay taxes to let faggots like you run this country
I hate that people are still trying to play that card like they don’t teach people to read and write well enough in this country to understand the clearly worded 2nd. amendment…. It ain’t about fuckin deer, it’s about being able to put a stop to the kind of greed and corruption that leads to governments trying to take guns from it’s citizens… and this$#%&!@*wants to be president?
Omally you striping$#%&!@* in most states its its illegal to hunt with an Ar 15 bullet is to small, it’s not about hunting, it’s about my rights!!!
He’s such an idiot, nearly destroyed Maryland, not needed for America!
if you think an AR is not appropriate for the defense of a home invasion you’re a liberal$#%&!@*

I’ve never met a politician that told the truth.
They are great for wild hogs, though.
Grenade launchers for the deer herds?
