The world's largest army...America's hunters!
I had never thought about this...
A blogger added up the deer license sales
in just a handful of states and arrived at a striking
conclusion:
There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin.
Allow me to restate that number:
Over the last several months, Wisconsin's hunters became the eighth largest army in the world.
More men under arms than in Iran.
More than France and Germany combined.
These men deployed to the woods of a single American state, Wisconsin, to hunt with
firearms, and no one was killed. That number pales in comparison to the 750,000 who hunted the woods of Pennsylvania and Michigan's 700,000 hunters, all of whom have now returned home safely. Toss in a quarter million hunters
in West Virginia and it literally establishes the fact
that the hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the world.
And then add in the total number of hunters in the other 46 states. It's millions more.
The point?
America will forever be safe from foreign invasion
with that kind of home-grown firepower.
Hunting.... it's not just
a way to fill the freezer..
It's a matter of national security.

That's why all enemies, foreign and domestic, want to see us disarmed.
Food for thought, when next we consider gun control.
-------------------------------------
Overall it's true, so if we disregard some assumptions that hunters
don't possess the same skills as soldiers, the question would still remain... what army of
2 million would want to face 30, 40, 50 million armed citizens.
(IF YOU AGREE, AS I DO, PASS IT ON, I FEEL GOOD THAT I HAVE AN ARMY OF MILLIONS WHO WOULD PROTECT OUR LAND AND I SURE DON'T WANT THE GOVERNMENT TAKING CONTROL OF THE POSSESSION OF FIREARMS)
For the sake of our freedom, don't ever allow gun control or confiscation of guns.

MsN:
Got NO complaints AT ALL with this post.
I find it MARVELOUS!
And, if anything, it should make ALL the other nations wanting to sleep with ONE EYE OPEN.
Perhaps we should declare an "open season" for terroists and criminals?
Always be watchful of those who would deny you YOUR rights to possess a firearm (and being willing to use it to defend your nation and liberties if required).
It got us our FREEDOM once.
Good post.
Stay safe down there.
Nope, can't argue here, although it did strike me that France et al would have more men at arms if they were actually at war- as the hunters are...
