"An interesting letter in the Australian Shooter Magazine this week:

"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 U.S., than you are in Iraq.



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