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’Mally I don’t know what he really stands for?
We did not ask
You are such a Pansy, you have never met a deer hunter.
You full of S–T.where the heck do you get your opinion. Deer hunters every where love USA that platform.get a grip.
When was the last time O’Malley was hunting??? A/R formats are extremely versatile and are the fact the most commonly used rifle in America today. You make an AR that fits small hunters. You can make one in a wide variety of caliber to suit your recoil tolerance and the size of game you are hunting. Until he shoots one and/or talks to someone with some knowledge of the subject matter he ought to shut up.
Tony I am making one in 300 Blackout for hunting deer
BS
I never met a self respecting government agent that needed machine guns, M16’s, armored vehicles etc to carry out domestic duties.
My Army buddy shot two on my property this past deer season with a .300 Blackout. No fuss, no muss… dropped ’em where they stood. A big buck and the doe he was trailing too!
I respect myself, and took a deer with an AR this year…
Meet me dirtbag.
