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.

You are mistaken. The second amendment was never about deer hunting. Our founders came from a Tyrannical government and put the second amendment in the Bill of Rights to keep the new and future government of our nation from becoming Tyrannical ! By the way , the people had the same firearms as the military. Times have changed but the premises of the Bill of Rights has remained the same. We must be able to stop power hungry Tyrants when they get out of control.
What a dipshit it is illegal in the us to hunt deer with anything smaller than 5.56 which is what the ar uses.
On alley is not right about a damn thing.
Has he met the thousands of security contractors that need to practice with this weapon before deploying to the Middle East, Balkans,…?
The 2nd amendment is not a right to hunt.
Typical thinking from a dumbocrat!
When were firearms only about deer hunting?
I dont need an AR-15 to defend against deer, just against a@@holes like you.
It’s not about deer nor is it about burglary per se. It’s about your right to defend yourself against any who would attack you from a burglar to a tyrannical government.
ASSHOLE DONT HUNT DOES HE..
