Thought for the Day
If you consider that there have 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 34% 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.
