Hmmm....That's about right!

Australian Shooter Magazine

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.

The firearm death rate in Washington , DC is 80.6 per 100,000 for the
same period. That means you are about 25 per cent 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 US should pull out of Washington"

LOL!!! I remember hearing, I believe in 06, that the death by gunshot rate was higher in New Orleans than in Iraq and Afghanistan combined in the first month of the year! Perhaps we should pull out of both! I've never been to one and avoid the other at all costs!
