If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in
the Iraq theatre of operations during the last 22 months, and a total
of 2,112 deaths, that gives a monthly firearm death rate of 60 per
100,000 soldiers. The monthly firearm death rate in Washington D.C.
is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same period. That means that you are
more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S. Capitol, which has the
strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.
