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.

They hunt wild boar with ar 15s And the second amendment was not put in place for hunting it was put in place to protect against a tyrannical government.
It is not up to anyone to decide what someone else needs….this is America…and in America we have the freedom to choose what works for us in our situation…..a basic freedom that should not be denied…for any reason…on any choice
2nd amendment it’s about hunting.
Bob Novellino depends on the type of invasion. Different weapons for different applications. Plus the Second Amendment was not about home invasion, but Gov’t invasion.
I’ll stick to my 45-70 basketball
Stupid asshole
is there a lot of deers to hunt in NYC?
What idiot thinks guns are just for hunting animals now days.
Well. I never met a deer that wanted to terrorize a country.
He probably thinks AR means Assualt Rifle too… Another informed ignorant Democrat.
