hunters and security

This is a quote from an old South Carolina acquaintance:

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 of Pennsylvania 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.

So, with all that in mind, maybe we can just shut down the whole national defense budget! Imagine the tax cut!!

I was with ya till that last line...don't shut down the military budget...let us hunters have it.


We'll secure the borders, feed the hungry, stop terrorism, and have billions left over when we were finished!!!
