A friend shared this and I found it interesting.
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 eighth 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 ofPennsylvania 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 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, whether you agree with it or not.
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.
(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)
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

A whole lot of them hunters with guns were also trained soldiers in the military with much training.So that is substantuly better than just 30 million civilian hunters in the field with guns.

They wouldn't fight. Technology has taken away any chance we have. Besides, no one is doing anything about the border. Just complaining. Same would happen if they came after our guns.

I question those numbers only because you can buy more that 1 hunting licenses for deer.

You missed the point. 600,000 license sold DOESN'T mean 600,000 people hunting deer, because you can buy more then one license.

No need for ad hominem attacks. Not the reason that I started this thread!

Looks like you don't get it either. You can't count the number of license sold and come to a conclusion that's how many people hunt when 1 person can buy MORE THAT 1 license.

You cant count license sales at all these days as most states will not publish those numbers anymore. At least not directly. You have to go to the Feds to find it. Wisconsin had 683,000 paid hunting licenses in 2020
https://www.fws.gov/wsfrprograms/subpages/licenseinfo/Natl%20Hunting%20License%20Report%202020.pdf
Total paid hunting licenses is over 15 million

I am not sure every hunter will risk his/her life defending anything....but I am sure that some will.
