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.

What a communist!
The Marlin 30-30 is for deer. The AR is for governments that engage in tyrannical activities.
What I want and what I hunt with is OF NO BUSINESS of the government….OR a LIFER politician!!!
Did everyone see this? https://youtu.be/B_hTJkdwOWk
Huge difference, they have been armed with fully auto, we have semi auto. See the difference?
That’s bcz no one uses an AR-15 to hunt deer. How many legally owned AR-15’s have been used in crimes?
They understand the word Right….They have a Right to all the free government hand outs!!
O’malley. Lay off our rights you gun hating liberal son of a$#%&!@*It’s any ones right to own and AR15, Colt 45. To defend them selfs. Sometimes in the middle of the night when these folks are alone, cops miles away. So.me one is raping your wife, or trying to kill you, it would be nice to have this weapon. Like someone said in this same post, these people don’t have well trained sucurry forces like you have.Stand up for the Americans rights to bear arms, you took and oath to defend the constitution, start doing so you balless son of a$#%&!@* I really hate people like you you spineless puke.

Oh O’Malley…I seriously doubt you know any hunters.
