    No clue if true are not!

    Taken from Facebook. So keep that in mind.


    December 24, 2019
    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 in other localities, 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.

    1. The world's largest army ... America 's hunters! I had never thought about this....

    2. A blogger added up the deer license sales in just a handful of states and arrived at a striking conclusion:

    3. There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin .

    4. Allow me to restate that number.

    5. Over the last several months, Wisconsin ’s hunters became the eighth largest army in the world.

    6. More men under arms than in Iran .

    7. More than in France and Germany combined.

    8. These men deployed to the woods of a single American state to hunt with firearms, and no one was killed.

    9. That number pales in comparison to the 750,000 who hunted the woods of Pennsylvania and Michigan 's 700,000 hunters,

    10. All of whom have now returned home.

    11. Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia and it literally establishes the fact that

    12. The hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the world. The number of Hunters in the state of Texas would be the largest standing army in the world by it's self.

    13. The point?

    14. America
    15. Hunting -- it's not just a way to fill the freezer. It's a matter of national security.

    16. That's why all enemies, foreign and domestic, want to see us disarmed.

    17. Food for thought when next we consider gun control.

    Advocates of gun rights often argue that in World War II Japan was deterred from invading the U.S. mainland by a fear of American citizens with guns in their closets. They frequently quote Japan’s Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto as saying: "You cannot invade mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass." But this quote is unsubstantiated and almost certainly bogus, even though it has been repeated thousands of times in various Internet postings.

      I figured so. I didn't research. Thanks

        Not sure if correct or not. No idea on the license fact either. factcheck.org seems to be the least biased fact check site. I still remember when snopes was considered to be a myth buster.

        I do believe today and still evident in the states quoted (or not quoted), if depending on gun ownership, an invading army would make it to at least the rockies. Maybe a bit past.
