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.

Aye! I trust the deer… It’s my government that I don’t trust.
My thoughts exactly
not a real smart feller, is he?
No but he might need it against your kind!
You’re right hunting deer just keeps the aim straight for some fool that wants to break in my house. Particularly those intent on harming my family.
I like the 30-06 for deer , armour piercing rounds for that pesky body armor the deer in my area wear
Idiot
thats cute but the second amendedment is there because the deer is comming
I dont need one but i sure like shooting mine i usually use a savage but my family loves the fact they are safe. By the way this is america how about a automatic shotgun.
It’s .223 and 5.56 that UN troops will use to kill us. Who gives a$#%&!@*what I use to defend my family? Who says I wont be outside my house or unable to stay close enough for pistol? Why argue hunting as if it’s the reason for the second amendment?
