DANGER IN D.C.


This picture has been used before but it fits the topic today.

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 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000.


The firearms death 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.

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

There has been a change in D.C. as the Supremes have struck down the unconstitutional gun ban. A small victory but a real one.

Now let's work on San Fran.

Well, I for one am glad you posted on this! I was recently attacked
for posting on the 2nd amendment and told I was too opinionated for a 'Christian' missionary????

You know Jungle Mom, I've heard that refrain once or twice about pastors while I was growing up!

I think someone just doesn't like/can't handle the opinion itself, and it doesn't have anything to do with you or your calling.
