Hunters and National Security

[Poppypaul]

Here is an email I received today. I had never thought about the importance of hunting to our national security until I read this.


Interesting slant on things

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.
Have A Great Day!
-------------------------------------
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.

Some one posted this a few month ago. Makes you really think. I don't think we will ever be invaded unless the libs pull our guns...

Even though posted several months ago it is a stern reminder that the taxpaying citizens are a well armed society. The best snipers are the ones that have hunted. They understand the kill zone.

And that doesn't even count the folks like myself that no longer hunt but still enjoy shooting.

GITRDUUUNNNNN!!!

Yup, and I will repeat my post again, just because someone purchases a License doesn't make them a Hunter and it sure as hell doesn't mean they will Take up arms and defend America and the Constitution.
