Thai government halts gun permits following tragic shooting by teenager
Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has put a hold on new firearm purchase permits just days after a 14-year-old suspect killed nine individuals in a shooting. He further stated that current licenses will undergo a review process, and registered weapons must remain at home rather than being taken out in public. Thailand experienced two separate shooting events last week, including one where a former member of parliament shot and killed a local government official.
