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.

Nora Seibert, I would like to see them with their finger off the trigger when holding a gun of any type.
Hey O’malley, it’s LEGAL to hunt deer with an AR-15
just ask ROBERT DINERO, THE DEER HUNTER.
That’s all I’ve ever hunted deer with
It’s not for hunting its for protecting ourselves against the likes of people like you
a little on the small side but it will work
I don’t remember Paul Revere riding his horse through town yelling “the Deer are coming” “the Deer are coming”
One more time you fucking idiot, The 2nd ammendment has nothing to do with hunting. It’s there to protect us from jack asses like you.
To those on here saying the 5.56/.223 isn’t heavy enough to take down a deer……go talk trash else where. Up to 100yrds, neck shot…….drop them in their tracks. Great shootin iron! Tell this democrat to go back under the rock he slithered out from under.
Just another idiot.
