If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq Theater of Operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,112 deaths, which gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000. (And note please, that not ALL of the 2,112 were killed by firearms!)

The rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000.That means that you are about 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.

Liberal Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington D.C.
