The Max Factor

If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in

the Iraq theatre 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 immediately.
