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 about keeping the government honest…if the common man can own what ever weapon he wants…that is called insurance..
Yeah,me either,most hunters use a larger caliber than .223!!
I’ve never met a patriot needing to defend his freedom from greedy politicians, enacting unconstitutional laws, that could adequately defend himself and family from dictators with insufficient weaponry.
2nd Ammendment isn’t about shooting deer you Fucktard! It’s about defending ourselves against Crooked Government Like You !!
Dumb$#%&!@*tyrannical govt is what it’s about but in DC there isn’t such an animal
I never saw a crook that kills 2 year olds but they have guns
another lying sneaking liberal democrat that is trying to take away your rights, remember this at the polls
I never met a politician that didn’t have some kind of security or protection
You idiots guns don’t kill people people do
Well said James Cristian Lemeilleur
