As Country Rebel notes, Williams made a strong case for why he believes the U.S. government should not restrict gun ownership. He also clearly got the attention of thousands of readers!

“There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin,” he writes. He goes on to explain that Wisconsin's hunters are the “8th largest army in the world (More men under arms than in Iran. More than France and Germany combined.)” Hank Jr. points out that among those 600,000 hunters in Wisconsin, all of them returned home. In the lengthy post, he talks about the 700,000 hunters in Pennsylvania, the 750,000 in Michigan, and the quarter of a million in West Virginia.  His point? “America will forever be safe from foreign invasion with that kind of home-grown firepower!” he says. “Hunting… it's not just a way to fill the freezer. It's also a matter of national security.” He ends with a strong statement. “For the sake of our freedom, don't ever allow gun control or confiscation of guns.” Hank Jr. also asked that if you agree, to pass it on, which over 6,000 people have already done. Over 7,000 have expressed their opinions, most of them agreeing with him. One commenter pointed out that land owners are not required to buy a hunting license, so the numbers that Hank Jr. is referring to doesn't even include the tens of thousands of those hunters.

We're sure Williams' post got a lot of people's attention! He certainly put a lot of thought into his message, which resonated with thousands of people. What do you think of his opinion? Are gun control restrictions necessary, or should we look at gun owners as a sort of unofficial army? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
