Quote from an Australian Shooter Magazine   "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. That 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 of Washington.
