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 bought some Winchester 5.56 62 grain green tip at Walmart the other day for $8 a box. Ammo is cheaper than two years ago.
It works like this…
1. Pistols are for dealing with muggers, rapists and car jackers.
2. Shotguns are for home defense.
3. Hunting rifles are for putting meat on the table.
4. Assault rifles are for dealing with tyrants who want to tell us what kind of weapons we can own.
The Founding Fathers didn’t ratify the Second Amendment because the deer were coming. The first two battles of the American Revolution, Lexington and Concord, were fought when the government (British at the time) tried to seize military style weapons and ammunition from private ownership.
We like our ar15s and high capacity clips to keep my family safe
Nicholas Leon I’m building mine in 5.56 so I can shoot 2.23 as well for recreation. Plus I live in NY so .308 is more expensive here, I don’t stock up on a lot of .308
Michael T Lustrino don’t get me wrong, we have one in 223. Prefer 22-250.
Orally is a lunatic I know. I was his neighbor for a decade
U don’t need the job u have
The second amendment is to protect people from corrupt politicians.
I thought a 30. 6 was a much bigger caliber than an AR, my mistake he’s obviously more smarter than me.
Maybe not, but your security most likely does (or a close, and probably “automatic ” version)
The people who
“Employ” you and your entourage , have the same 2nd amendment right (minus the automatic version )
Wake up …. You can be replaced in the next election
