I'm more worried about the people who sell it to them. Like USA.

Weapons are like oil or gold. A commodity. The price is what the market will bear in a supply and demand economy. If you need an AK in the country you live in, chances are, many others do too. Demand rises and so does the price. I saw an article a few months back that mentioned you could purchase an Ak for around 600 US at many Afghan weapons stalls in markets.

on average you can get a ak-47 for less than 20dollars.

Throughout the world, the AK and variants are among the commonly smuggled small arms sold to governments, rebels, criminals, and civilians alike, with little international oversight. This trade ensures a ready supply of inexpensive weapons to a number of conflicts, including the Balkans, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Somalia. In some countries that are recovering from war or that are at war, prices for AKs are very low. In Somalia, Rwanda, Mozambique, Congo and Ethiopia, among others, prices are between $30–$125.[26] After the Soviet retreat from Afghanistan, the Soviet Army left huge quantities of weapons including AKs which were used in its civil war between Taliban and Northern Alliance and were also exported to Pakistan. It is now also made in Pakistan's semi-autonomous areas. It is widely used by tribes in Africa like the Hamar, amongst others.
