Ish? You can get a solid enough ar15 for about 800$ these days, just gotta know where to look. https://www.smith-wesson.com/product/mp-15-sport-iii pcpartpicker says that 64gb ddr5 is about 800$ at the absolute cheapest, so ram being higher priced is a fair take, even if it’s not entirely 100% correct.
Fwiw, this meme has been around for about a year now, and it was very much true the last time I priced things out. Guns just started to catch up, price wise.
*edit
I checked the actual store prices for the gun I listed, not the MSRP, and its definitely cheaper than ram. Meme is 100% correct. Barebones ram costs more than barebones ar15.
