I borrowed this story from a friend on facebook, and thought it would be a great addition to this blog as I am a gun owner.
This is a true story and most people will never know it.
After the Japanese
decimated our fleet in Pearl Harbor Dec 7, 1941, they could have
sent their troop ships and carriers directly to California to
... ... finish what they started.
They didn't. Why?
The prediction from our Chief of Staff
was we would not be able to stop a massive invasion until they
reached the Mississippi River . Remember, we had a 2 million man
army and war ships…...all fighting the Germans. So, why did they
not invade?
After the war, the remaining Japanese generals and
admirals were asked that question. Their answer…...they knew that
almost every home had guns and the Americans knew how to use them.
The world's largest army... America's hunters!
A blogger added up the deer license sales in just a handful of
states and arrived at a striking conclusion:
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.
There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of
Wisconsin.
These men deployed to the woods of a single American state
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.
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 one considers gun control.
“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.”
