2nd Amendment - D.C. conclusion

From: drude Sent: Wednesday, August 05, 2009
 
An interesting letter in the Australian Shooter Magazine this week.
   
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 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  US, than you are in  Iraq.
 
Conclusion: The  US should pull out of  Washington."
