There are a plethora of affordable options that are cheaper than a console or a nintendo switch nowadays.

Hi-points aren't fancy, but they're reliable and cheap, you can pick up a 9mm pistol for around $200 or less.

Farther up you've got PSA, where you could pick up a Dagger (glock clone) for $300 and an AR-15 for $399.

Again where are people getting that sort of money?

My question was rhetorical. The point is that many people have very poor financial decision making skills.

I saw a highpoint for $99 in a magazine around Xmas. They get stupid cheap if you wait
