Thailand Tightens Gun Laws After Shootings | Roanoke News

Thailand’s government is cracking down hard after two devastating shootings in under a week—sending shockwaves through Bangkok and sparking urgent reforms. A student gunned down eight at school and home, then a former politician was arrested for another fatal shooting. In response, authorities are freezing new gun permits, reviewing existing ones, and pushing to overhaul laws within 60 days—with harsher penalties, tighter controls, and a push to eliminate guns from daily life. Despite strict gun laws on paper, Thailand has one of Asia’s highest gun ownership rates, and these high-profile attacks signal a dangerous escalation that demands immediate action.
