Thailand Suspends Gun Purchase Permits After School Shooting Thailand has suspended firearm purchase permits for the general public and ordered a nationwide crackdown on illegal weapons following last week’s deadly school shooting in Nonthaburi. Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul instructed authorities to establish checkpoints, intensify searches and arrests, and investigate illegal gun networks to prevent copycat attacks. Deputy Prime Minister Pakorn Nilprapunt was also tasked with drafting a new Firearms Act. Despite repeated crackdowns since the 2020 Korat mall shooting, progress has been limited. Thailand’s estimated firearm-related death rate fell from 3.91 per 100,000 people in 2019 to 3.49 in 2023, but millions of legal and illegal guns remain in circulation and the country has suffered several high-profile mass shootings since then. Speaking at a local security workshop on Thursday, Anutin also ordered district chiefs and police superintendents to work as unified teams and use shared data to address firearms, drugs, organised crime and other local threats. The workshop brought together 564 officials from 25 provinces, covering 209 districts and 355 police stations in the Central and Eastern regions. #Thailand# #GunControl# #กราดยิง# #เทพศิรินทร์# #กราดยิงเทพศิรินทร์# #กราดยิงนนทบุรี#

Malcolm Gladwell told TIME that Americans on both sides of the gun-control argument are not being honest—about the police, about the Second Amendment, and about what really causes gun homicides

In July 2019, the Virginia General Assembly convened a special session to consider gun control measures, including a bill to ban suppressors. ASA led opposition to the measure during the special session and again at the Virginia State Crime Commission hearings on August 20th, helping defeat the initiative until the next legislative session.
