OH for god sake!

I can't believe there are such stupid people in this country,, and this time, it's my BIL!

Just got this email from him...



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 of Pennsylvania and Michigan 750,000 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 and 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.

they sailed all the way up the st. lawrence, and through the canal locks, and were just about to invade sheboygan.

then they saw that blog and said "turn back!" we can handle 599,988 armed locals, but 600,000?
we're crazy but not that crazy!
let's head home!

and back home they went.

all thanks to that last dozen patriots!

back in the early 60's in one of the hunting magazines.

They went on to argue that all these hunters had camping equipment, etc. & could hide out in the woods forever & plague any invading Soviet or Chinese forces.

It sounded crazy back then too.
