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.

Amen..took the words right out of alot of people’s mouths! ! Mine inc. !!
The 2nd Amendment is not and never was about deer hunting you liberal fucktard. You are either ignorant as$#%&!@*or a fucking liar? Which is it you$#%&!@*waffle$#%&!@*flap???
Actually it’s not illegal at least not in Michigan you can only have a five round magazine in it though
What in the hell does hunting deer have to do with owning an AR-15? For that matter, WHAT DOES HUNTING HAVE TO DO WITH OWNING FIREARMS???? Answer: NOT A DAMN THING. The 2nd Amendment does not say we have the right to bear .22 revolvers, is says we have the right to bear ARMS. It also says NOTHING about HUNTING being the reason for that right. So any DEMOCRAT who tries using this terminology on you, YOU JUST TELL HIM HOW IT IS.
There is one born every minute …
Idiot! The founding fathers were originally British Subjects. The British Armed Forces were systematically encroaching on the rights of the colonists at the orders of the Monarch. The second amendment has nothing to do with hunting. The basis of the 2nd amendment has to do with the populace being able to defend themselves against the Armed Forces of the country. The ‘right of the people to keep and bear arms shall NOT be infringed’ was written into the constitution’s Bill of Rights to ensure equal firepower to the citizens in case the politicians become corrupt and send the Armed Forces against the citizenry. Read a newspaper lately?
Typical$#%&!@*wipe democrat!
AR15 is a 223/556 round, the AR10 is a 308/762 round. Both are more that sufficient in taking down a deer. However most hunters and most states want you to use something bigger than a 223 round to hunt deer.
He still doesn’t understand the need for bearing arms; to defend oneself against a tyrannical government taking away all of your freedom!!!!!!
I never met a self respecting American that wanted to ban anything!
