Thought For The Day

An interesting letter in the Australian Shooter Magazine this week
which says, I quote: "If you consider that there has been an average of
160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the past
22 months, & 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 you are about 25% more likely to be shot & killed in the U.S.
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 of Washington ."
