Just a Thought

If you consider that there have been an average of 160,000 troops in theIraq 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. is 80.6 per 100,000. That means that you areabout 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 inIraq.

Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington D.C?

Thank you for posting this!! People lose sight of the perspective. They forget that in our own history we've had battles where 10s of thousands of men died in ONE day.
