This is amazing. Go Wisconsin!!!!!!!

True story and most people will never know it.


Here's an interesting side bar. 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. 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 in other localities, so why did they not


invade?

After the war, the remaining Japanese generals and admirals were asked


that question. Their answer....they know that almost every home had guns


and the Americans knew how to use them.



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 in France and Germany combined.


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 we consider gun control.

I have read and heard that this is a accurate quote:

"You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass." - Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto (Japanese Navy)

BUT, while it may be true, there is NO Record of him ever saying it

Toss in over a million in Michigan, Texas and Pennsylvania. Then toss in all the millions that own guns and don't hunt. Plus all the other states. It's ok if they take California. They can have that place. :p

More than 41,000 South Dakotans have permits to carry handguns or conceal them in their cars - the highest rate per capita in the nation, an Argus Leader analysis shows.

While the high number of permits in South Dakota might conjure images of a gun-toting, frontier mentality - certainly, part of the state's rich history - many outdoors enthusiasts and law enforcement officials point to the state's low crime rate as evidence of something different: a respect for the law and the constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

n a 2002 CDC study, South Dakota ranked fourth in a survey of "gun prevalence" - the likelihood that a given household had a gun. Sixty percent of the state's households had access to a firearm; Wyoming was first at 63 percent, and Hawaii was last at 10 percent.

I was just posting approximate numbers of hunting licences sold. I don't know about the rest. You can't forget the millions of archers either.

You mean they don't? I thought the commies already had it.
