I just saw a documentary on the history channel and it prompted me to send you the following. In WWII, Japan's highest ranking naval officer was Admiral Isoruku Yamamoto. Although he was Japanese, and his loyalties were unquestionably with The Empire, he studied for many years in America, graduating from Harvard University. There are two oft-repeated (and sometimes disputed) quotes attributed to him regarding the possibility of starting a war with and of any nation taking a war to American soil:

"I believe we have awakened a sleeping giant"

"You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass."

Here is why he was correct with the first one:

We assembled the largest war machine in the shortest amount of time in history

Here is why he is correct in the second:

America's Hunters.

The World's Largest Army.

The state of Wisconsin has gone an entire deer hunting season without someone getting killed. That's great, considering there were over 600,000 hunters that got permits this year.

Allow me to restate that number.

Over the last two months, the eighth largest army in the world - more men under arms than Iran; more than France and Germany combined - deployed to the woods of a single American state to keep the deer population under control.

But that pales in comparison to the 750,000 who are in the woods of Pennsylvania this week.

Michigan's 700,000 hunters have now returned home.

Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia, and it is literally the case that the hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the world.

And that is just FOUR states.

The total population of registered hunters in America today ranges from 23 million to 43.7 million individuals. (Based on annual data provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 2010.)

As long as the American Hunter retains his right to Bear Arms, America will forever be safe from foreign invasion of troops.

Hunting - it's not just a way to fill the freezer. It's a matter of

National Security!

If anyone tried to invade the US, they would run into a bunch of drunks in pickup trucks, and after the invader's bodies washed ashore, they'd be surrounded by millions of 30.06 brass, empty cans of Bud Light, a bunch of Marlboro butts, and a lot of Dominoe's pizza boxes.

To Lod's point. Add to the number of registered hunters those armed Americans who are heavily armed, but choose not to hunt. That 40 million number could easily triple. We're talking about a potential of 120,000,000 armed Americans living in America. To take it a step further, many of us have numerous guns. In my family alone we'd have the capability of arming a dozen people. I'm one of millions of multiple gun owners.

There is a reason our government wants our guns.

This is key.

This coming March 12th, I'll be helping train ladies who have decided that it's time for them to take responsibility for the defense of themselves, their family, and their property.

Classroom time and then live-fire at silhouettes, seven yards. What a blast.

2ASisters.org for any ladies here who would like to find a chapter in their state. Or start one.

Here's some legislation that will be considered this year in the great state of Iowa -

Here is a run down of the various laws sent to the hill in Des Moines this year. HF7 – Windschitl – Stand Your Ground / Castle Doctrine Enhancement - This bill would allow citizens to use all reasonable force, including deadly force, to prevent serious injury or death to himself or a third part. It removes the duty to retreat, and provides immunity from prosecution for justified acts of force. It does NOT give permission to shoot indiscriminately and without just cause, as has been reported by some media outlets and legislators.

HF104 – Windschitl - “Firearms Freedom Act” for Suppressors - This bill provides that any suppressor that is manufactured, sold, and remains in Iowa shall not be subjected to Federal regulation.

HF121 – Windschitl - “Firearms Freedom Act” - This bill provides that any firearm that is manufactured, sold, and remains in Iowa shall not be subjected to Federal regulation.

HF122 – Hagenow – Offensive Weapons for Private Investigators and Private Security Officers - This bill would allow licensed private investigators and licensed private security officers to carry offensive weapons.

HSB16 – Baudler – Repeal of Permit to Acquire – This bill repeals the Iowa Permit to Acquire Weapons.

HSB17 – Baudler – RKBA Amendment to the Iowa Constitution – This bill adds the Right to Keep and Bear Arms to the Iowa Constitution.

HSB18 – Baudler – Emergency Powers Protection of Firearms – This bill prevents any government agency from removing firearms and ammunition from citizens during a state of emergency.

HSB19 – Baudler – Preemption Strengthening – This bill makes it crystal clear that local jurisdictions have no authority to override state law when dealing with firearms issues.

HSB20 – Baudler - “Constitutional Carry” - This bill removes the requirement to carry an Iowa Permit to Carry Weapons when carrying a weapon.

HSB36 – Baudler - Stand Your Ground / Castle Doctrine Enhancement – Like HF7, this bill seeks to strengthen the "Stand Your Ground" and "Castle Doctrine" principals, and removes liability from citizens who are justified in using deadly force.

HSB37 – Baudler – Offensive Weapons Possession - This bill would allow private citizens to own offensive weapons, subject to any Federal disqualifiers.

SSB1056 – Fraise – Modification to Carrying Around Alcohol; Requires Qualification; Invalidates Online Training – This bill would make it illegal to carry a weapon in any establishment that sells alcohol, or where alcohol is consumed, under the authority of a liquor control license or permit; requires qualification time on a range prior to obtaining an Iowa Permit to Carry Weapons; invalidates all on-line training as a means to satisfy the training requirements of obtaining an Iowa Permit to Carry Weapons; forces all renewal applicants to have had training and qualification at least 12 months prior to renewal; and assigns all costs associated to an appeal that is denied to the citizen who filed the appeal. Right now you can carry in bars or under the influence as long as you are under the DUI limit of .08
