Guns, David Tipple and Priorities

Just a thought; if David Tipple, the owner of Gun City stores across New Zealand fails the fit and proper person test to hold a licence to sell firearms, then should Pak'nSave and Countdown lose their licence to sell food? The logic is that Pak'nSave and Countdown kill people by causing obesity, far more people in fact than a David Tipple bought gun ever did. Hmm?

The NZ government plans on buying back guns after the Christchurch Mosques attack. I'm not convinced that is a good use of the estimated $300-700 million cost. Wouldn't it make more sense to ensure gun licence conditions were met, and put the money that would go into a buyback, into NZ schools instead?
