Even most entry level guns cost more than a ps5. Unless you’re getting a price of crap pistol or something used, a gun costs more than a ps5
Cowboy hi point! and that's not even counting printed liberators or four winds shotguns.
Not in civilised countries it doesn't.

Ps5s are about $500 still iirc.
You can totally get a used hi-point for less than that. Shit you can get a brand new one for less than $500. Police trade-in glocks go for about $400-$450.
They're not nice guns, but they definitely work. I think this buyback program may very quickly run out of money, and if anything it encourages people to buy guns they otherwise wouldn't have just to trade them in.
I don't think you've checked gun prices recently. You can absolutely buy a pistol for 200 dollars from a reputable retailer.
oh wait. you have to give them a gun? I just read the headline and I wanted to know what I could get for an original playstation.
Of course. Otherwise people would buy guns to trade for a ps5. You want to have less guns, not more. It's to encourage the trade in of guns already bought with a reward for doing so, not a way to meet the value of the gun.
Except they're wrong. I literally just checked Sportsman's Warehouse and there's a ton of 200 dollar pistols available. That's a cheap PS5...
Maybe you can 3d print a bunch of shitty guns and get a bunch of ps5s? Sounds like a good business model.
