Daddy sent me this... ::sigh::
The Federal Bureau of Investigation publishes a book called "The Uniform Crime Index" annually that lists statistical information concerning the crime that occurs in every city in the U.S.
Using the same format for Iraq, if you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq Theater of Operations during the last 22 months and a total of 2112 deaths; that gives
a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000.
The rate in Washington D.C. (among others) is 80.6 per
100,000.
That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in our Nation's Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.
Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington, D.C
