Subject: Interesting Firearm Death Statistic
Regardless of where you stand on the issue of the U.S. involvement in Iraq,
here is a sobering statistic:
There has been a monthly average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during
the last 22 months, and a total of 2,867 deaths. That gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.
The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000 persons for
the same period.That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in the
U.S. Capital than you are in Iraq.
Obvious Conclusion : The U.S. should pull out of Washington
