This has been around for a while.
Ho Ho Ho… Merry Xmas to you.
If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the
Iraq theater of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of
2,112 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 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 pull out of Washington.

Why are there 100,000 solders in Washington DC - or is that 80.6 per 100,000
people?
