People earning small wages can still save and buy a gun.They may have to save a little while.... but they can eventually get one.
I served in the military and did not get much pay. I also remember getting loans to get some of my guns when I just could not wait to save enough.
Just because they have other bills now does not justify a need to let them buy a junk gun thatare known to be problematic and inferior.
They are paying out hard earned money for something they expect to work. They may not have the knowledge or experienceto tell it is junk. The guy selling it not going to tell them either.
The point being..... The gun's price may be attractive to those with little money.... but the ban has nothing to do with preventing the poor from owning a gun.
This is just pure malarkey!

Agreed.... I live in an area where single family home with no land is almost 1 million dollars. But we also have people that are poor here.You may be a little out of touch with the level of poverty in some places in the country if you believe a ~500$ purchase is not super expensive for a decent amount of the people out there. Sure around DC, and in NOVA, and NYC, etc. 500$ for most people isn't much, but there are still a heck of a lot of folks living pay check to pay check that could have a 500$ gun on layaway for a year or more to get it. I am originally from a town in MD where the average families income is under 36,000$ a year. 500$ is a heck of a lot to them. Throw in a single mother with 2 kids, and the decision for a $500 gun or a new pair of shoes for Johnny...
I agree that those guns could be junk, but I don't need the government stepping in to "help" me decide what I want to buy. I have a brain and can make my own decisions. If I prefer to buy a gun that works 50% of the time, cause its better than not owning one at all, that is my right, responsibility, and problem. I don't need the nanny state stepping it to "help" me make the right decision. Give me the facts, and get out of my way.
