I got this ina na eamil today...

There has been an average of 160,000 troops stationed in Iraq during the last 22 months. During this time the firearm death total was 2,112 for a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000. The rate in Washington, DC is 80.6 per 100,000. This means you are more likely to be shot and killed in our Nation's Capitol, 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'll bet the per-capita possession of firearms is Iraq is much greater. I think DC just needs more guns.
