Another fun fact about statistics… the firearms death rate per 100,000 people is higher in Washington, D.C. than it is in Baghdad. This is slightly misleading because many deaths in Iraq are from bombs… but still, scary.
How can the firearms death rate be higher in Washington D.C??? D.C. is a gun free city after all. No guns allowed! Haven’t you all heard from the left how safe we would be with gun control??

“he firearms death rate per 100,000 people is higher in Washington, D.C. than it is in Baghdad.”
For a truly fair comparison we would need to take out all combat related gun deaths in Baghdad and all police/self-defense related shootings in DC. Since both of those are considered “legitmate gun deaths” only accidents and crime would truly need to be considered.
