I don’t think that is a boy and that is not a toy gun.

That is a serious man in his late 20’s or early 30’s and I get that he means exactly what he said.

Look at his feet. Look at his forearm that you can see.... not a child. Look again at his face. There is life lived there.

The photo merely goes well with the [true] quote. As an aside, the holding of the gun with finger off trigger seems more to speak of it being real...
