Americans with guns are more responsible than government

Do you believe the American government wants its citizens to own guns?

How about the United Nations, do they want the American people armed?

The government and the national media are always trying to divide the American people.

Here's just one example:

"We are told NOT to judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics." But,

"We are encouraged TO judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics."

Why would anyone say that? It sounds like the Muslims are angels and the gun owners are terrorists! Once again the Democrats are treating law-abiding gun owners like criminals.

These guys aren't criminals. They might very well be the backbone of America in the future! Here's why.

There were over 600,000 hunters during the last hunting season in the state of Wisconsin. 

Over the 2013 hunting season, these hunters became the eighth largest army in the world. There were more hunters with weapons than in Iran, and more than France and Germany combined. These men and women deployed into the woods of a single American state, Wisconsin, to hunt with firearms, and no one was killed. (Except maybe the deer)

That number is small compared to the 750,000 who hunted the woods of Pennsylvania and Michigan's 700,000 hunters, all of whom returned home safely. Don't forget about the quarter million hunters in West Virginia, and it literally establishes the fact that the hunters of those four states alone would make up the largest army in the world. And then add in the total number of hunters in the other 46 states and it's millions more.

America should be forever safe from any foreign invasion or any government take over. Hunting is 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. Think about that the next time Obama says the 2nd Amendment is up for debate.

The American hunter may not be trained like the American soldier, but ponder this. what army of 2 million would want to face 30, 50 possibly 80 million armed American citizens? Ask yourself. who do you want protecting you, the U.S. government or 80 million Americans with guns? I choose Americans with guns. We are just about the last nation left where its citizens still own guns.

I heard a rumor once about why Japan only bombed Pearl Harbor in Hawaii and would not set foot in the rest of the states. The rumor was that the Japanese believed there was an American with a gun hiding behind every blade of grass. They were afraid of us. We're not a perfect nation, but we are still free because we refuse to give up our gun rights to the U.N., our own government or to any foreign country.

The last revolution was in 1775 and I would like to believe the American people would stand up and fight if their freedoms were once again threatened. For the sake of our freedom, never give into tyranny and never give up your guns!
