You don't think the German ill-preparedness for the harsh russian winters
had anything to do with it?   It's easy to run out of supplies quickly when
you push too far too soon and your supply path is snowed in.   I don't see
any connection between the Russian victory over the Germans and gun control.

Personally I don't own a gun, and I don't see the issue either.   If you
want to have your own gun, fine.   If you want the government to make
it illegal, fine.   To put it another away, people will always continue
to drive faster than the speed limit, even though it's illegal -- at
least the people in the united states would.  Of course I believe speed
limits are selective, I've always had this need to go 25000 miles per
hour ('round the world in 90 minutes), but the majority of the people
in the world don't have confidence bloated enough to make them believe
that they could accurately control a vehicle at that rate of speed.

You might also notice that there are no units on speed limit signs
around here... so I don't know if this argument would hold up in
court, but I interpret the signs in the most common units I deal with-
meters per second.
