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.

THIER NOT FOR DEER HUNTING
These people will never get it.
AR15 is a light “Light” for deer. I use an AR-10 which fires a 308 which is “heavy” and will stop a deer at 300 yards.
Hey stupid! AR-15s are not used for deer hunting, they are used to keep America free of idiots and terrorists!
In most states it is unlawful to hunt deer with. 223 so that argument is invalid.
Omalley it’s none of your business on what I want a Ar15 for or the government
What does it matter WHAT I bought my AR15 for? Why we buy weapons has a lot to do with this commie, racist slug has done to this country. Maybe I just want to be able to put all 30 slugs into some thug who breaks into my house, just saying.
You know nothing about hunting, dimwit. And guns aren’t only for hunting, their for protection.
Yea dumb$#%&!@*we need guns more then ever maybe even to keep this country a nation under God and free you government workers sure as hell are not so don’t tell us what we should or should not have loser
What’s the difference ballistically between an AR-15 and a semiautomatic deer rifle? A majority of deer rifle calibers are more powerful than a .556 AR. Granted there are AR style rifles in different calibers but predominantly
they’re in .556/.223
