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.

Hey O’Malley, was the bill of rights! Nowhere is deer hunting mentioned! It was written in case someone decides to take it upon himself to take over this country and rule as a tyrant. Don’t have to name names, we all know!
So now your a expert on self-respecting deer hunters. Not bloody likely. And no, WE don’t need an AR-15 to hunt deer, but WE can use one if WE choose.
I never met a self respecting public servant who would make such a stupid statement !!!!!!!!!!!
What difference does it make . Secret service carry Ozzie’s. Disarm americans Muslims are the biggest terrorists why are they on our government trying to ban our only defense against a corrupt government . We still live by our constitution .When Russia invades we want a fight . Not a slaughter why not yell the people what putin plans to do with that emp. And what America is going to do when communications and power is cut. Another gun grab .
I doubt if he has ever met ANY deer hunters! The AR15 is available in many calibers, many of which are suitable for hunting deer and many hunters do use them for that purpose! However, there are many more people who use them for target shooting and self defense! These firearms are rarely used to commit crimes, contrary to what the gun control crowd would have you believe! If one or more people are breaking into my house and I had a choice of a fifteen round pistol or a thirty round rifle, I’ll pick the rifle!
TO THE HELL WITH THE DEERS,HOME SECURITY,,TRESSPASSERS WILL BE SHOT,,SURVIORS WILL BE SHOT AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!
Just when you are convinced, that you have accurately identified the Country’s biggest$#%&!@*
How about an old .45/70? Or better still a .50/100. Both would work on dear, buffalo, as well as thugs, politician thugs too.
but if you ever think you might want to take hie deer rifle , then i might need a AR15, as per second amendment states
If thats why you own an AR you are one paranoid$#%&!@*
