It used to cost a week's wage for an affordable firearm.

(The same as today)

The actual cost in currency doesn't matter, because it's relative to it's value.

Inflation means money's value goes down every year.

For example, your grand parents will probably say that it used to cost a quarter to go to the movie theater.

This is because a quarter used to have much more value than it does now.

So the price of a firearm, I think it used to cost a week's wage for an affordable one, and I think it still costs a week's wage for an affordable one today.
