Description

A young man enters a gun shop and tells the owner that he wants to buy a gun. He gets a lecture about guns and maturity which ends with his being told that the politicians are serious about gun safety and not so serious about child safety and that having a child does not, per se, prove maturity, but having a gun does. Reference to the Kahui twin case which is much on people's minds at the moment.
