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 doesn’t specify…. So go$#%&!@*yourself, They’re to have firepower against a corrupt socialist government
Any politician offering this specious argument is deceitful and unworthy of taking the oath to protect and defend our constitution that public service requires. Anyone, with the slightest effort, can review the historical statements that unequivocally detail the thinking that put the second amendment in the bill of rights and it’s true intent. A government that fails to recognize the value of this amendment has no place in our society and politicians that push to abridge these inalienable rights do not serve the people.
GATLIN GUN
What about the Muslims and Isis your letting into America
1st thing is , the Second Amendment has nothing to do with hunting . Its for our protection against an out of control government and asshats like you !
Some people like to target practice! Why do the police need them?
I also do not need the 500 hp in my car, but it is there IF I do.
Not many ‘deer hunters’ will use an AR15 as the gun of choice unless it is chambered for 308. The 223 is not a good round for a deer, but O’Malley probably did not do his homework.
Democrat moron, I never knew an American patriot that opposed the constutition.
Well spoken
