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.

Another ignorant democrat politican….the AR-15 shoots the same bullet as the political correct looking bolt action rifle.
My$#%&!@*you commy
A moron do you know what the size caliber and ar15 fires it’s very small 223 caliber
Ive never seen where the 2nd amendment says hunting…………….
Size eight and eight hours now for hunting at least deer
I do!
Deer hunters usually carry something larger, if you actually met a self respecting deer hunter. Face it; The AR platform is the flintlock of today’s world.
STOP trying to barter with our rights,, The second Amendment is not to be infringed on and An American can havw whatever they want unless they hurt someone… Its not all about deer hunting , there is collecting and shoot targets, having fun … Go after the criminals and leave guns alone
your an idiot
