Thank you Shovers! DC vs Iraq Shhooting deaths

An interesting letter in the Australian Shooter Magazine this
week, which I quote:

"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. "

A very sad thing for U.S. soldiers and troops, however; the
firearm death rate in Washington , DC is 80.6 per 100,000 for
the same period. That means you are about 25% more likely to be
shot and killed in the US capital - - which has some of the
strictest gun control laws in the US - - than you are in Iraq .

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