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.

I agree Jim,also people still think AR stands for assault rifle when it actually stands for Arma light rifle which was the the creator of the ar platform which then they sold the rights to colt.

I once wrote a rather long and involved argument against the restriction of so-called “assault weapons, the NFA, and the machine gun ban of 1986.
In a nutshell, I argued that the more suitable a particular weapon is for military or militia usage, the more valuable it is fulfilling the purpose of the Second Amendment, and therefore it deserves greater protection under the law rather than restriction.
I don’t use an Armalite Rifle to kill deer I prefer something more powerful such as 25-06 or 30-06 or .308
