American Hunters - USA Minutemen

bigfutz · Jan 19, 2012

I didn't author this; I received it from a friend via email:

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 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 now 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.

The biggest issue with this is that to effectively use the civilian as a fighting force is that you would have to find a way to...and I hate to use this term... "organize" them. Even in the movie Red Dawn they took months to fight back. We are unlike the Swiss in this matter.

And just because people hunt, doesn't necessarily mean they would use those arms to fight back. I believe most would, but it's not a sure thing to assume they would.

So, this conversation brings up a good question: What is the Governments plan to organize and draw up a voluntary militia if needed?
* Would this be created by the National Guard or the military?
* How ready would people really be to bug out and move?
* Would you join or avoid? I would think that this will vary depending on age, kids, family...

For me the first 2: I have no idea.
3rd: I would saw this is in the <5% of the population.
4th: I would get my family to where I believe they are safe first. I believe in survival first. Understand what's happening...then fight.

According to Title 10 of the US Code:

TITLE 10 > Subtitle A > PART I > CHAPTER 13 > ? 311

? 311. Militia: composition and classes

(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.

(b) The classes of the militia are?
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and

(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

If you are between 17 and 45, can walk and carry a rifle: YOU'RE IN THE MILITIA. Even if, magically, the 2nd Amendment applied to "the militia" and not to individuals (as has been espoused by anti-gun retards) then all males between 17 and 45 are allowed unrestricted access to any weaponry they so desire.
