World's largest private army,U.S. hunters.

World's Largest Army.....
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.

This would make a good bumper sticker

While I do agree with the private army and US hunters. I often wonder how formidable of a army this would be. If a trained battalion / Platoon / regiment / enteried your neighborhood how long would you make it, even if every body on in your neighboorhood owned a gun. There is only so much a bolt action 30-06 can do when fitting against 150 guys with armored vechiles...heavy machine guns..Full Auto Weapons...and artillary.
I wonder if the "idea" of an Army of Hunters is more of a deterrent than the actually Army of Hunters itself.

On the plus side of your argument, think about how many people have rifles who don't hunt. I haven't hunted deer in YEARS and have two Browning 270's sitting in my gun cabinet. Point is, that number is way higher than just the licenses sold.
