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.

Is he a complete idiot? Protection of civil rights is the purpose of the amendment. Perhaps he should be the first to give up his rights ..
Not legal though for most deer hunting states.
I don’t need an ar15. I need an ar10.
With all do respect Sir, The 2nd Amendment wasn’t for hunting deers. The purpose of it, is to protect our family and friends from our enemies including our own public officials. If they decided to take side with our enemies.
no self respecting politician would question our constitutional rights.
That’s not the point the second amendment wasn’t written for hunting. it was written so WE THE PEOPLE could protect ourselves tyrannical government . The bad guys will ALLWAYS have AR15’s
One round for the deer and the rest for$#%&!@*politicians like this one.
No but an ar 15 helps keep fools like him in check
I’m sick and tired of these liberals coming after our rights – not privet ages but rights!
It is not about the deer$#%&!@*! It is about a well regulated militia that can form in times just like this ! Takeover of the government . Any liberal that is for gun control , will soon see their pants are fine when the troops come in to take over America .. The banks are going down .
