Now you can’t stop people from posting like this but a pro gun person I wouldn’t think reinforcing this type of talk will help the cause.
Many pro-gun people are also emotional about it and express their feeling emotionally. Rational discussions about firearms are rare in part because of this but mainly due to the fact that there are so many other much more dangerous things that restricting them, and not other items, always comes down to emotion and emotion is insulting.

It must also be rather individual as I fail to see why your question, even stated as it was, would be insulting. Canada does have more freedom of movement and travel than the U.S. and Canada does not restrict Canadians travel with re-entry requirements. Pointing out that another country oppresses their citizens by restricting their travel, with exit or entry visas or passports while asking about a country subject to such restrictions should not be insulting.

Edit: Would you be insulted if someone asked a similar question about carry laws for handguns?
