Assault style weapons are expensive.

Brand new AR-15s are available for $400 all day long. It's not even a week's rent most places. Poverty isn't keeping people from arming themselves.

It's not poverty.

But you're right. Technically.

There are plenty of people in this country living well above the poverty line without the means to care for themselves, due to the extreme cost of healthcare, shelter and food. Nobody in this country should have to struggle for any of these basic human necessities.

And yet here we are, arguing about the price of guns in a country that invented school lunch debt.
