Just for grins and giggles, a few years ago I added up all the active military personnel from all of the countries of the world, and then compared that to the number of Americans who bought a large game hunting license the preceding year.
The short answer is, the number of large-game license hunters in America exceeds the military personnel of all the countries of the world combined, sans China.
And that’s not counting Americans who have guns but don’t deer hunt.
And there are a LOT of us, on that last.
Big game hunters typically do not have Apache helicopters, tanks, missiles, or ground attack fighters.
