And 1 for EKI

Interesting Statistic


Regardless of where you stand on the issue of the U.S. involvement in
Iraq, here is a sobering statistic:

There has been a monthly average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theatre
of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,867 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 persons
for the same period.

That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in
the U.S. Capital than you are in Iraq.

Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

You can use statistics to prove anything. 50.1 % of all people know that.

You've had email again, fousto?

Actually, the US should pull out of Iraq and place those troops in Washington instead. That's where the problem seems to be, if we're to believe that chain email.

so that actually proves the US needs desperately gun control laws?

[A.F.F.]

Does that mean US soldiers are shooting each others ?

[leopard]

Pulling out the soldier from Iraq at least means prevent from wasting 60/100,000 soldiers and just focus to solve out the 80/10,000 firearm death properly.
Unless if it was done by intention to push the population growth rate down. :\

so that actually proves the US needs desperately gun control laws?

No, it proves there's lots of people in D.C. that need killing.
