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.

Besides that..why would it be disrepectful to hunt deer with an AR15 in say .308 cal. It doesn’t make it any easier to kill deer regardless.
I use mine for hogs and thugs
Most people with ARs do not hunt with them they have them to protect themselves from a Power hungry government and jerks like you!
It’s not about hunting
A AR-15 is just a style of rifle… That’s all folks… They come in ,223 and perfect for coyote hunting. And if that style is so bad why then did this government buy a few thousand of them???
I bet his boyfriend doesn’t even hunt
Just another example of too many hands in the cookie jar. If you don’t know anything about bullets, calibers or rimfire, please don’t act like you do.
AR-15’s work great on left wing politicians though
He’s right!
Robert Owen Actually I think it’s 5.56mm but close enough.
