The United States is a “Developed” country, ie. wealthy.
Some people might think they’re poor here but that’s mostly on account of they haven’t’ been to an actual poor country.
A reliable, compact handgun can be had in the US for $600 or less, several different ones in fact. Ain’t very many here in any income bracket can’t afford that if they want one. For example, I’ll bet you can easily find $600 flat screen TV’s in houses across the board. If they want it they can buy it.
Every family here has some family members who are inclined to arm themselves and some who ain’t, regardless of income. Just like most families have family members who fit into a number of your arbitrary “class” categories.
