An Interesting Statistic

Consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq
theatre of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths.

That gives a firearms death rate of 60 per 100,000.

The firearms death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000 for
the same period.

That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in the
U.S.Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the
nation, than you are in Iraq.

Conclusion: The U.S. should immediately pull out of Washington.
