Ok, in Russia you could for a while buy attack helicopters whole sale. Chechnya is a dormer war zone, as are the Balkans and even Serbia implemented gun control measures after one (!) school shooting... What's next? Military grade weapons readily available in Afghanistan and some African countries?

Let’s see. South Africa. Well, most of Africa. Most of the Middle East. Anywhere in central or South America (with one or two small exceptions). Large swathes of Asia, except for China, and portions of India. I’m pointing out that ‘everyone else has it under control’ is actually ‘a few Western European, a handful of ex Western European colonies, and a handful of totalitarian dictatorships have it under control’. And even then, not as under control or as different as the PR would necessarily lead you to believe. The US gets the mindshare and publicity though.

  Africa, famous for being home to multiple civil wars, child soldiers, war lords rebels and the like since the early 60s. Sure, that is supposed to be the bench mark for the US (in all honesty, it seems to be fitting sometimes so). Asia, well, South East Asia ia similar from Vietnam to Laos (a lot of their guns were importes by the Americans during the Vietnam war). Some countries are military dictatorships with opposing rebel groups. So yes, my point stands, all countries that actually are in position (read no internal or external armed conflicts, no civip war like situations, no destabilized government) have it under control. The US gets rightly called out for it, as the only (presumely) developed democracy with this kind of problem.
