DD> An interesting letter in the Australian Shooter Magazine,
DD> which I quote:
DD> "If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000
DD> troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the past 22
DD> months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm
DD> death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.
DD> The firearm death rate in Washington, DC is 80.6 per
DD> 100,000 for the same period. That means you are about 25
DD> per cent more likely to be shot and killed in the US
DD> capital which has some of the strictest gun control laws in
DD> the US than you are in Iraq."
DD> CONCLUSION: The US should pull out of Washington.
My conclusion.
All the residents of DC should have jobs.
All the residents of DC should have military training. And serve
in the National Guard.
The Swiss system.
The first part of the answer is the hard part.
