Thai PM Vows New Gun Law After Deadly School Shooting
Following a shooting rampage on the outskirts of Bangkok that killed at least eight people, Thailand's Prime Minister has vowed to introduce a new firearms control law, drawing attention to potential new regulations in Southeast Asia's largest gun-owning nation.
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul vowed on Friday to introduce a new firearms control law in Thailand, Southeast Asia's largest gun-owning nation, hours after a shooting rampage on the outskirts of Bangkok left at least eight dead. The incident has reignited calls for stricter gun control measures in the country, where gun ownership rates are relatively high. The government is expected to propose measures aimed at tightening regulations on the purchase, registration, and storage of firearms, though details of the proposed law are yet to be announced. The Prime Minister's swift pledge signals a strong commitment to enhancing public safety in the wake of the tragedy.
