AMERICA'S HUNTERS ---
Pretty Amazing!

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:
600,000

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.
 
Re: The number of hunters in the US

Pretty impressive numbers but it's not even feasible for another country besides Canada or Mexico to even try to invade us in a military fashion. We'd stomp a mud hole in their ass so quick it'd be like shewing a fly off our shoulder.

Not trying to minimize the thread, but if all the hunters were ardent supporters of the 2nd A, it would help alot.

Re: The number of hunters in the US

If I remember correctly, the Chinese agree with Obama about gun control for the US. Being that they are holders of alot of our debt, this is just the first step.
 
Re: The number of hunters in the US

The issue was never a foreign power. Our founding fathers deeply distrusted a centralized authority with a standing army. There was debate that the size of that army should be limited, by the constitution, to a percentage of the population.
Those armed citizen hunters are exactly what the framers understood to constitute a "militia"

He ain't talkin about voting. Least not the way you mean. When it cones down to it, the man with a rifle has the only vote that counts.

Everybody's heard the " behind every blade of grass" statement, such is still true . Hopefully the hunters and gun owners will not be sheepish and follow the opposition.
 
Re: The number of hunters in the US

Too bad many "hunters" are antigun. Good thing the 2A has nothing to do with hunting. You guys are right if all firearm owners would stand togeather obama would not have a leg to stand on.

Most of the "hunters" I know do not have more than one or two boxes of ammo. It is hard to be a bad ass when you have like 36 shots. Yes we would get at least 36 kills but "hunters" most would be lucky to get a few.
