If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in theater in Iraq during the last 22 months that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000. The rate in DC is 80.6 per 100,000. That means that you are more likely to be shot and killed in our Nation's Capital, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.
Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington, D.C
I disagree. Let's arm the citizenry instead.
You forgot something: /sarcasm
(Some people may not get it - but I did!)
Great Post BTW!
Very funny! Someone else mentioned to arm the people - but, do we really want all those DC Liberals to own guns?
