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.

go$#%&!@*your self u Democrat
I believe he never met a Deer hunter, he knows everything he does from the movie. Please take Jeb so you have someone who is not totally insane.
Worthless racist democrat
That AR-15 is for totalitarian socialists like you Omalley.
Maybe it’s not the deer folks mistrust
As a personal defense weapon, the AR-15 doesn’t hold a candle to my 12 Gauge — pistol grip pump action — loaded with buckshot. The 12 Gauge will put a man on the floor, and guarantee that he will not get up, a lot quicker than any AR-15.. (of course i would have some wall repair and a lot of$#%&!@*to clean up afterwards)..
