An interesting letter in the AUSTRALIAN Shooter Magazine this week which ‘someone’ quoted:

“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. This 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 ofWashington.
