"If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000
troops in
the Iraq theater of operations during the past 22 months,
and a total
of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per
100,000
soldiers.
"The firearm death rate in Washington, DC is 80.6 per
100,000 for the
same period.
That means you are about 25 percent more likely to be shot
and killed
in the U.S. capital, which has some of the strictest gun
control laws
in the U.S., than you are in Iraq."
Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington.
