It's been reported in the news. I have no idea if he used the gun to murder his Grandparents, but, yes, it would be my assumption.

Shot them both in the head before school and then went to school to continue the shooting.

In the U.S., it's the people putting self-interest and an absolutist view of the 2nd Amendment ahead of reducing deaths who are the problem.

It's not an absolutist view; it's binary. You are either pro Bill of Rights or against the Bill of Rights. Which one is it?

What's this got to do with a 14 yr in Greater Bangkok losing it completely and killing at least 7 people and himself.

How does a 14 yo kid get their hands on a deadly weapon, with plenty of ammunition?

Thailand's had them since 1940 at the least. It's not a spreading disease but the same thing every time. Unchecked or ignored mental illness, bullying, abuse and neglect of the shooters.

I am sure we have mental illness, bullying, abuse and neglect of students in Australia.

Perhaps you could explain why we don't have school shootings.

False binary or false dichotomy.

Supporting the Bill of Rights doesn't mean every right is absolute. Free speech has limits. The Second Amendment is no different.

The real question is: what reasonable limits best reduce deaths while respecting constitutional rights?

I think it's very disrespectful NOT to stay on topic here. This is about a 14 yr old IN THAILAND who has killed his grandparents, teachers (possibly a student), wounded many others and killed himself. He did this with registered weapon.
