LOGIC 101
An interesting letter in the Australian Shooter Magazine this week:
"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 33 per cent more likely to be shot and killed in the US capital which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the U.S., than you are in Iraq .
Conclusion: The U.S. Should pull out of D.C.
Cheers, Vince

Sounds like an excellent idea to me.

Yep they won't like Vince's idea one little bit.
But, we have cared far too long what they think, look around the world at the results of what the liberals and the antis have given us, Oh. and let us not forget the media that jumps on every liberal bandwagon.
DC should leave the US and take all the politicians, other liberals, and the antis and then they can do whatever they like and prove to the rest of us just how right they are.
Oh I am sorry I forgot; their goal was never to make things any better for anyone, just to make sure they could control everyone and make us as sad as they are.

D.C. would make a very nice Disney wonderland too. All those museums and monuments and stuff, the caricatures are already there too, mopey, dopey, sleepy, grumpy, frumpy, dumpy, Hilary, Obama, Biden (he's so perfect already) just need some white 4 fingered gloves. Osama Obama could be a ride to the death and Hilary could be bent over a cannon on the Pirates of the Somali cruise. Just a thought...

Good taste being one of them and an ugly mental image the other.
