Just got this in an email and thought I'd pass it on.
Great Statistics.
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 in France and Germany combined.
These men deployed to the woods of a single American state to hunt
with firearms, and no one was killed.
And 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.
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.
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.
