Yet another amusing e-mail making the rounds, enjoy!
If you consider that there have been an average of 160,000 troops in the
Iraq theater of operation during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,112
deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 10,000 soldiers.
The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 10,000 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 the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than
you are in Iraq.
Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington.
