Odds of getting killed . . . interesting tidbit - Bernice Moore - 02-02-2011
Subject: Odds of getting killed . . . interesting tidbit
Shooting Statistics :gossip:
An interesting letter in the [B]Australian Shooter Magazine[/B] this week, which I quote:
"If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the past 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.
"The firearm death rate in Washington , DC is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same period. That means you are about 25 percent more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S. Capital, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the World, than you are in Iraq ."
[B]Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington !:angeldevil:[/B]
