The US should pull out of Washington

*/_Australian Shooter Magazine_/*

An interesting letter in the Australian Shooter Magazine this
week, which 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, 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 806 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 US_* , than you are in Iraq .

Conclusion: "The US should pull out of Washington ."
