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, that gives a
firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000.
The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000. That
means that you are 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.
