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 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.

IF OUR COUNTRY FAILS TO PRESERVE OUR HERITAGE AND LIBERTY, THE BULK OF THE BLAME WILL REST SQUARELY ON THE SHOULDERS OF THE FOLKS WHO SAT BY AND ALLOWED APATHY AND SELFISHNESS TO RULE THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS!!! WE AS CITIZENS ARE INDEED AN ARMY, AND OUR VOTES AND VOICES ARE OUR AMMUNITION!!! WE MUST STAND UP FOR AMERICA!!!

Are you sure we haven't already been invaded? Not to sound like a nut but check out how many leaders of this country now have ties with the Muslim Brotherhood. I wonder why they refuse to do anything with the American Mexico boarder maybe mexicans are not the only one we should be worried about coming thru there.

I vote but in reality I really don't know these people who spend millions to convince us they have the answers. I seem to live in a different world than they do. I'd like to live my life and never know there was such a thing as government and politicians.
I personally feel that government these days is the biggest threat I have to my every day existence.

Anything you really enjoy is either bad for you or illegal.
