Could be a load of horse shit? Nonetheless interesting
Received in an email:
"If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the
Iraq theatre of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of
2112
deaths, 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 for the
same
period.
That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in
the
U.S.Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the
nation, than you are in Iraq.
Conclusion: The U.S. should immediately pull out of Washington."
