Think gun control is not an important issue?


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…...
All watching the Germans.

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.

    ...and I'm well trained. I have to admit that I would happily support a process in which someone would have to demonstrate a MINIMUM ability to operate a weapon effectively (I mean we have to take a pretty basic written/operational test to get a drivers license), but I know I'm in the minority on that.

    I agree with you. My fiance has taught me well, plus I've taken classes: Urban Assault, Firearm Safety, Defensive Tactics, etc, plus I'm licensed to conceal. I don't think I'm as accomplished as you, but I know my way around a few weapons :-) I take my ownership very seriously and am extremely safe with operation and storage!

    I would agree also but I would add that it's NOT because they haven't tried or that THEY don't want to,, it's because WE don't want them to..

    The actual quote was "there would be a rifle behind every blade of grass" An exaggeration , yes. But our Marksmanship was well documented at the battle of New Orleans and again by our Marines in the first world war where they routinely killed Germans at distances of up to 500 Meteres.

    OK, got it. The author "was just making a point." But the point that was being made was a lie. This whole posting is a lie. You have every right to advocate that our guns not be taken away, but it is shameful to post what you know to be a lie to further your political goals. If you care at all about truth, you should edit youer post to issue a retraction. Right above the line labeled "Top Opinion" it says "edit question." If you click on that you can edit it and retract the dishonest parts..

    corrected - they were watching the germans - not the japs - and this changes nothing about my political goals which shoud be the same as yours - freedom from tyrrany - oh thats right you are a liberal and you like tyrrany - right?

    Owning one does not protect you. Knowing how to load, disassemble and clean, and hit your target under stress though, does. Most that buy a gun have no clue about the actual weapon and it's limitations. Everyone should take a gun safety class and learn how to hit what you are aiming at. Every missed shot, gives an attacker a chance to take your life. Knowing how to load and clean your weapon is vital as well. A dirty weapon can jam and could cost you your life. Knowledge is power, back it with good ammo and training and you are not protected.
