As a former resident of NY, I wouldn't be surprised if 70% of Hi-points found their way into NY and other oppressive liberal states. Everyone and they're grandma had either a hipoint, a raven/fie titan/jennings etc. in 25acp or a turn of the century revolver that's been passed on from generation to generation.
There are also still quite a few decommissioned ww2 era 1911s floating around in the people's republic of NY. Many haven't been fired in 50 years. They just sit in a shoebox in the corner of someone's closet. I've seen more than one complete with original leather holster and ammo much older than me. They often turn up when cleaning out grandpas house after his passing.
I hope to God none of those wind up getting traded in, much less for <$250.
