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.

If you could possibly know anything about weapons you would know that ar15 is just a platform for different calubers of weapons. Most ar15 are not high enough caliber weapons to hunt deer with in most states
That’s true. I’ve never had to have one. I will never own one. Waste of my hard earned money.
No but he or she might need it to protect home and family from terrorist foreign and domestic…
I don’t think so.
My AR-15 is only for hunting down a tyrannical government when necessary.
I need one
Deer? Mmmmm! Making me hungry.
It is a very common load next to the 243 and 30/06. Besides, like in Connecticut, they likely can’t gey any one to confiscate the fire arms.
