WHY EVEN LIVE
>>29714038
because you don't live in a 3rd world shit hole
>>29714038
Well it balances out because you live in a society where you wont be bombarded and you have an extreme surplus of food.

jesus christ, in argentina our coin is weak so we are in comparasion with you very poor but yet we have to buy a bersa xt at 1000 dollars and an ammo box of 50, for rxample the 45 acp cost 80 dollars becouse of some fucked up laws so you're pretty good
Guns should be under 300 dollars
Reminder
Jokes on you faggots, i got my wasr 10 for fivefiddy.
I'm not sad that I have to pay $500 for an AK, I'm upset that import restrictions exist and that I am not allowed to trade food, cigarettes or money, of which I have a surplus of, for an AK, of which the 3rd worlders have a surplus of. So I'm stuck with food and cigarettes I don't want and they're stuck with guns they don't want. Nobody wins. Fuck import laws and gun laws that perpetuate them.

In Brazil an AK costs $3000 dollars because it's trafficked.

Not since the 90s.
Chink AKs are regularly into the multiple thousand dollar range.
>Thanks Bush Sr. and Clinton for saving us from inexpensive AKs
>tfw everything in this pic including 6 Chinese steel magazines, a cheese grater ventilated handguard, and 1000 rounds of chicom ammo was bought for $350

I almost bought another of the exact same rifle from the exact same importer (who only imported around 1000 rifles before being v&) except with an underfolder stock for $1600 last year but I bought an FAL instead.
for OP and those who are wondering, the reason AK's in the united states are ridiculously overpriced is similar to why healthcare is ridiculously overpriced.
Don't want to pay 5 times what an AK's worth? Then dont buy one.
Dont want to pay $20,000 for an EKG and a night in the hospital? Die in the street then.
Reap the rewards of capitalism.

I didn't know AKs were overpriced because of the cost to educate the factory workers
