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.

O’Malley, you’re right I don’t need one to down a deer. But that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t own one.
Mine is not for deer! It’s for assholes that try to step on my freedom!
Does this idiot understand that my 30.06 or 7mm used for deer and elk can take out just as many people as an AR 15….???? One just looks more intimidating…
They aren’t intended for hunting deer. Fighting against a tyrannical government, futile as it may be.
Omalley and the rest of the gun haters can suck it!
We use them for coyotes Socialist idiot
Of course you don’t need a .223 for deer. That’s why I use a 30-06.
The second amendment was never written for hunting. It’s to defend against tyranny, government oppression, and people like you. You my be able to pervert the constitution to your brain dead useful idiots, but not constitutionalist.
This dudes got$#%&!@*for brains
I think you got left and right mixed up.
