What bothers me is that some pro-gun posters on this board post messages that show a clear ignorance of other parts of the world.

There are many countries with fully functioning stable democracies, strong restrictions no (legal) gun ownership, and a low incidence of gun related injuries.

Given that - I tend to respond if I see a poster acting as if the sky will fall, as soon as weapon X is restricted. Ok, guns might be useful/necessary for defense in some parts of the world - but this sure doesn't seem to be the universal case.
