You don't have to be affluent to own an Uzi.

That depends on your personal definition of affluent.
$8000 for an Uzi may not seem like much to you, but to me, or the next guy it could be a much different matter.
I have a roof over my head, enough to eat, and enough money to keep from freezing to death during a normal winter. And a fixed income sufficient to maintain this, currently.
Compared to many people in the US, and a huge number of people in other parts of the world, I am well off.
Compared to someone making $50K a year, I'm not. Compared to someone making enough to drop $8000 on a gun I'm poor. In terms of money, at any rate. I have enough for my daily needs, and have over the years gotten nearly everything I ever really wanted. I think I'm well off, even though I cannot afford a machine gun, thanks to the effect of various laws on the market price.
