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.

Another “Jack$#%&!@* libturd politician who has no understanding of firearms or the Second Amendment!
Dumbass has never had a pack of coyotes around him in the woods. He’ll wish he had 30 rounds.
Which is why there is no mention of hunting in our Second Amendment.
Why is this about hunting? It’s about you lying pieces of feces called the government.
What a freaking idiot
Pack up your$#%&!@*and go home!
Wonder if he even realizes that in MD many of the AR-15 round options would NOT meet the minimum “muzzle energy of at least 1,200 foot pounds” to even be used for deer. And the ammo that is over 1200 is well below this at 50 yards, i.e. would be inhuman to use on deer. Go figure an “assault rifle” that’s not powerful enough for deer….moron.
David Kelly no doubt it can, but the liberal rhetoric that it’s some kind of super weapon is silly. It has its limitations just like any other weapon.
Yes Finnon Flowers silly and everything has limitations
Mr. O’Malley, if you do not understand the problem you have no hope of finding the solution.
