 No one thinks that if a country were to regulate guns, prices at retail stores might go down a little in the country. Good business includes sales costs in its products. And defence costs rise because of the magnitude of the threat.
The cost of housing of the same quality and safety varies between areas with poor security and areas with good security.
In countries with poor public safety, the wealthy tend to congregate in safe areas, making regional disparities even larger.
This leads to more crime.
So people think, "I'm not safe without a gun. So people are walking around with guns, and people need gun-proof equipment."
People who unconsciously give money to others while being egged on by influencers to criticize the government.
