Thailand halts new gun licenses after school shooting
Thailand has suspended the issuance of firearm licenses following a deadly shooting at a school that resulted in the deaths of six people, including teachers and students, before the attacker—a 14-year-old teenager—committed suicide. This move is part of the government’s efforts to strengthen oversight and enforce strict penalties on the possession and purchase of guns, amid rising firearm ownership in the country and previous insistence on tightening laws despite repeated incidents of violence. Investigations indicate that the teenager was viewing violent content online, was under psychological pressure and experiencing bullying, and used his grandfather’s weapon to commit the crime.
