<DIV>After a few [market] days such as these, a bit of humour is
necessary<BR>and this was sent to us earlier this week by our old friend,
Mark<BR>Bishop, from The Canadian Shooter Magazine:</DIV>
<DIV><BR>"If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000<BR>troops in
the Iraq Theater of operations during the past 22<BR>months, and a total of
2,112 deaths, that gives a firearm<BR>death rate of 60 per 100,000
soldiers.</DIV>
<DIV><BR>The firearm death rate in Washington , DC is 80.6 per<BR>100,000 for
the same period. That means you are about 25<BR>per cent more likely to be shot
and killed in the US<BR>capital, which has some of the strictest gun control
laws<BR>in the U.S., than you are in Iraq .</DIV>
<DIV><BR>Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington -
immediately!</DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
