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 2nd amendment isn’t about deer hunting
Of course you haven’t. It’s not a heavy enough caliber to be legal for deer hunting in most states. The 5.56mm or .223 ( Which the AR-15 shoots) is typically a varmint round with a recommended target weight of 70 pounds.
The second Amendment is not aboult hunting you damn idiot!
you cant have them omalley.
ive never needed a semi automatic rifle to take down a deer, i have no problem doing it just fine with a broad headed arrow from my bow……
but still dont mind blowing of some steam firing a couple hundred rounds down range through my panther!
the 2nd amendment was not to protect deer people!!! it was to protect its nations people from their tyrannical government.
And we have never met a self respecting politician.
We The People are the militia of this country. We need our AR-15s and other such weapons to enable us to preserve our freedom from governmental tyranny. We have no one else to protect us.
now thanks to people like obama and hillary we need AR15s to defend against his fellow terrorists coming here
An AR15 is not used to shoot a deer, MORON, it’s to shoot at TYRANTS who come to shred our Constitution, our Liberty, and our Freedom!
O’Malley, we don’t need you to tell us what kind of gun we should have. What part of, “Thou shalt not be infringed upon” don’t you understand!?
