Firearm death ratesThere have been an average of 160,000 troops in theater (IRAQ) during the last 22 months, which has 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. This page was last updated July 1, 2005. |
