Default Interesting slant on gun ownership


AMERICA'S HUNTERS
Pretty Amazing!

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 8th largest army in the world.
(That's 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's and Michigan's
700,000 hunters, ALL OF WHOM HAVE 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 also 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 million, 40 million, or 50 million armed citizens???
For the sake of our freedom, don't ever allow gun control or confiscation of guns.

[This was sent by a friend. When you add in the gun nut in southern Maryland, this country gets
pretty well protected.]
