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.

It is just about deer hunting dork it is also to keep goverment under control
Well you haven’t seen my wife shoot
O’Malley you need to read the 2nd amendment before you talk about it.I’ve carried it in my pocket for 20+ years.I promise the word hunt or hunting isn’t anywhere in there. So stop with the b******t.
From what I know no self respecting citizen would be caught without weaponry comparable to those who would seek to kill them……..
The Second Amendment is not about deer. Its about freedom.

It doesn’t matter why i want it…
politicians would not need them to be protected by if they were not so dishonest and untrustworthy
He is a dreamer
The AR-15 is a variant of the AR-10 which is 7.62mm or .308. If you are shooting a 300AAC BLK then it’s a 7.62x35mm. closer to the AR-10. Starting with a AR-15 you have to modify the upper reciever and barrel in order to shoot your larger 300. instead of the 5.56mm. (AR-15) In colorado for example the leagal requirement for deer hunting is at least .243, the AR-15 isn’t large enough, your 300 is. But then it’s no longer an AR-15. Growing up we killed scores of deer and elk with our .22 rifles. We practiced constantly, shot well and within the limits of the firearm. Some people didn’t and they passed the law. My point was the O’Mallery probably doesn’t have the slighest idea about what he is trying to pass laws about.
