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.

I don’t think the 2nd amendment is about deer hunting. It’s more about keep repressive governments off of our backs.
If the truth is known , this administration just wants to make sure the U.S becomes defenseless . They don’t give a damn about deer , just the hunters ….
I never met a driver that needs to go faster than 80 mph … yet cars go much faster.
It’s not the deer that we are protecting ourselves from you idiot
He’s such an idiot. It’s NOT about deer hunting ,,, it’s about tyranny. Read the Federalist Papers!
Me neither. But I have met many AR-15 owners who will n have used it to protect their families!!
None of your business what gun I own or use unless I break the law with said weapon.
Its not about deer hunting.
Real American would never make such a stupid statement.
