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.

It’s not about hunting. The second ammendment has nothing to do with hunting. O’Malley stop playing with yourself.
I use mine mostly for coyotes. No one ever said that we just use rifles for deer. Stupid city slicker..
Desperate liberals rhetoric.
Isis seems to be well armed. DUH
Just what are you talking about ? It is apparent you don’t know jack$#%&!@*about anything! It’s not about hunting , we both know that . So you are telling me I don’t need a ar 15 , the last person I would ask is a do nothing politician!
He’s probably never met a deer hunter, period. I’m getting tired of this$#%&!@* If they are not coming for our guns why are they worried about what we own.
Cute, but hardly original. The 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with deer hunting. It has to do with empowering the citizens to resist an out of control government and poiticians like O’Malley.
What hypocrisy, you have armed protection then come out stating that no respectable hunter would use an AR-15. The second ammendment has nothing to do with hunting. It’s about the people defending themselves and their families from tyranny. Red the Constitution, remember the one you swore to Defend? The rights of the people shall not be infringed.
He’s correct! The big stuff is for kicking the$#%&!@*out of TYRANNY, OPPRESSION, and CORRUPTION!!!!
Hunters don’t need AR-15s unless they become the hunted. Then the prey wants every advantage.
