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:

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..
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.

Have A Great Day!
-------------------------------------
Overall it's true,
so if we disregard some assumptions
that hunters don't possess the same skills as soldiers
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.

I'm not sure what any of this has to do with the issue of better gun control measures? But, I for one am resigning to letting the worn out debate over gun control rest. :icon_thumleft: Time to debate the issue of better cell phone control now. :laughing7:

Sorry, there is no way to discuss gun control without it being political....
