INTERESTING THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

If you consider that there have been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the last 22 months, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000. The rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000. That means that you are 25% 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

WOW... thats some interesting statistics to say the least.

You know.. can't help but think if someone in another country read these numbers what they would have to say... specially the people in Iraq. I could see this becoming a heated debate thread *runs for cover while she's ahead*
