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.

The government has m-16 I need one for that reason
People of the United we have tyranny going on in the white house.
Time to buy more guns
Time to store ammo
Time to vote these fools out of office in November
We need them to protect our home land from the Federal Government. The White House is now a place if Sin.
The AR-15’s are to shoot$#%&!@*hats like O’Malley in the face in the event he tries to deprive us of our 2nd Amendment Rights.
the vast majority of people that own guns DON’T HUNT this is one of their plans, only hunters can have guns, the purpose of the second ammendment is for citizens to protect themselves against criminals and the government period so stop with the HUNTING C**P AMERICANS WILL ALWAYS HAVE GUNS
And Mr. O’Malley, your point is? Your syllogism is incomplete and your first premise is wrong on several levels. Go back to school and take a logic course. No, better yet, just go hide in a safe space such as a closet.
It’s not about deer you stupid son of a bitch
I never met a self-respecting politician….there is nothing in the Constitution that limits the type of firearms one can own either. If my AR-15 makes you nervous then your best course of action is to not mess with my family. It’s about self protection and isn’t anyone’s business what type of firearm I purchase legally.
Actually, an AR has the ability to take down a deer. It’s not about the configuration …it’s about accuracy. O’Malley can kiss this hunter’s ass
Not about need, you may not need a pickup truck, but you can buy one if you wish…..that is what freedom is about. Punish the folk who abuse their right. .
