	Description:		The coalition Government’s signalled “everything’s on the table” when it comes to a major shake-up of New Zealand’s gun laws. The world praised us when we took swift action following the Christchurch terror attack – banning semi-automatic firearms and assault rifles. But now a coalition agreement between National and Act could see semi-automatics make a return to gun ranges. In the US, this month marks 25 years since the Columbine high school massacre – where two teenagers murdered 12 students and a teacher. 15-year-old Daniel Mauser was one of those killed in the school’s library. Daniel’s father, Tom, has spent the last 25 years advocating for gun control in America – and he joins us on The Front Page to discuss why New Zealand shouldn’t be complacent when it comes to firearms.
