American Hunters

AMERICA'S HUNTERS ---
Pretty Amazing!

The world's largest army...
[/size]America's hunters![/size]
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:

[/size]There were over 600,000 hunters
this season in the state of Wisconsin ..
[/b][/size]
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
[/b]
[/size]Pennsylvania and Michigan's 700,000 hunters,
all of whom have now returned home safely.
[/b][/size]
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.
[/b][/size]
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...
[/b][/size]
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.
[/b][/size]

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...
[/b][/size]
What army of 2 million would want to face 30, 40, 50 million armed citizens???
[/b][/size]

I FEEL GOOD THAT I HAVE AN ARMY OF MILLIONS WHO WOULD PROTECT
[/b]
[/size]OUR LAND AND I SURE DON'T WANT THE GOVERNMENT TAKING CONTROL OF THE POSSESSION OF FIREARMS.[/b][/size][/b][/size]
For the sake of our freedom,
don't ever allow gun control
or confiscation of guns.

Sounds good in theory.

Over half of them are over 45 years old, about 2/3 of them would be classified unfit for duty, most of them could not spend a week in the field without some medical problem and a significant percentage  couldn't even go one day without medication.

Throw a lack of a supply system and you've got near zip in effectives to fight a conventional war and damned few to fight guerrilla style.

Still......I would like to think they are enough to make a difference if we were invaded.

But that isn't what's going to happen, we will be brought down from within.
