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.

Point is completely missed. We need to have weapons that the govy would have, so if they decide to get puzhy, we Americans can stand against a pushy govt. That is what its about.
And there isn’t any government official that want to limit our guns and types of guns – that doesn’t have armed protection !!!
Jonathan D. Harrison that would be an AR-10
Besides, a gun is a gun. What I prefer is none of your damned business. It I was showing up in your living room dictating what you should own your armed guards would remove me. So get out if my life and do your damned job! Last I heard you are employed with an oath! Honor it or give it up.
It ain’t for deer, it’s for fools like you.
We want AR 15’s too protect ourselves from an out of control lawless government.
Just another idiot.
Has he EVER met a “self-respecting deer hunter” at all? If he hasn’t met any, then his statement could be true. 🙂 If he has, how many? Did he actually quiz them on this subject? If so, what did the ‘self-respecters’ use – knives, javelins, bow, 12ga slugs, .22’s…what? Did they use the same weapon to hunt for a variety of medium-to-large game?
PS, he’s out of the game anyway, so relax and be glad if you don’t live in Maryland.
And I never met a truthful politician, leave the guns alone, a innocent gun has never killed anyone
It’s coming right for us!!!
