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.

Drop dead Mr. Flush Tax
moron
They are used to protect American citizens from the government if it goes bad..
No, but I have hunted with them.
Mr. O’Malley, fact is it’s none of your business what kind of gun I have or whether I even hunt. Just so you’ll know, though, my guns are for people who try to do me harm or take my stuff, including you.
You are pathetic, why would you think we use them for deer? They have a purpose all right, too use
that’s what I hunt deer with
I call this a pro-choice moment. I choose to own an AR15, and you choose not !!!!!
Not even worthy of a comment .
