Wow!!!! Jees but I feel so much safer now. I should mention that I also seen a haul at Home Fresh Mart at knock down prices. Thank you RTP. Now all those gangsters, murderers, rapists, smugglers, bankers, politicians, lawyers, and cock fighters will be quaking in their boots for sure.

I'm going to use a small red bowl.

What could possibly go wrong with that...

That it's red. Better use a yellow one, or any other colour...

So, how many Bar pressure is it in those guns? Maybe can use them as high pressure washer to clean the car?

Talking of which, I've painted my Karcher in camo.

in other news, another crazy somchai felt insulted after being honked at for driving the wrong way, assaulted a motorist with a machete. crazy somchai is currently at the police station paying the 500 baht fine and will be free to roam the streets once more after getting his receipt.

 

and this? 10 years for possession of harmful water guns? OM<deleted>G! logic really has left the BIB.

It was a good base for work. Cheap digs, pussy on tap and half-decent nightlife. 

 

Doesn't change the fact that the people are thick as two short planks and the country is a basket case.  

Refreshing. Speaks the truth!! 

Father is there any hope for the next five years? ( at all?)

I'm getting worried about the stash of war weapons I've had under my bed since last Songkran.

 

Where's the NWA* when you need them?   *National Watergun Association.

I suppose the equivalent of Mr. Bumble's quote would be that Thai law is a buffalo. They should move Songkran ... to April 1st.

'OM<deleted>G! logic really has left the BIB.' Hardly. They don't have any to left to leave.

Were the "semi-automatic" or "automatic" and, if semi, did they have "bump stocks"? What were their muzzle velocities and magazine volumes and could they be considered as "assault water guns"?

Is this a "big joke" operation? 

[Thechook]

They can't be serious, made the aussie news as a bit of comedy.

I wonder if the 'all singing dancing dear leader' realises what a huge loss of face his minions have caused world wide? 

 

But, then again, it could be a cunning plot to get more tourists to come and enjoy the land of comedy (LOS LOC) - just don't use a bus or ride a motorcycle, it could spoil your fun!

 

[captspectre]

now if they would get serious about confiscating REAL guns ! but that will never happen, seems like every thai driver has a gun in his car, at least that is what the videos of road rage imply!

 

[electric]

Let's be honest .... as silly and sad as this story is, it won't make the slightest bit of difference to millions of locals happily squirting their water pistols at anything that moves.

 

And I'll bet my wife's house, that every coppers kid will be happily sitting in the back of a pickup with a lethal, illegal, plastic war weapon.

[Teacherduck]

What a joke, but its OK to own a "Real Gun"  Just proves how inept this police force is.

[Keesters]

Congrats to the police on this one. Now remove the millions of similar water guns that are on sale everywhere else.

I enjoyed all the comical replies to this topic, but seriously folks, what a disgusting waste of resources at one of the most dangerous times of the year on Thailand's roads. Ordinary folk get caught up in spectacularly bad driving by guys high on whisky and distracted wet T shirt girls.

 

Redeploy these police to traffic duties and get the bad drivers off the roads to save a few hundred lives.

Opposition tip-off to the cops for sure 

[The Teacher]

Well, now I have almost seen it all, sell plastic water guns and face ten years in the slammer, rape or kill someone and just say Sorry. What a messed up place

Welcome to planet Thailand.

Meanwhile in the real World. The World is on the Brink of War. Do the Thai People know this while worrying about water guns.

Just when I was starting to think that this Country could not get any more pathetic after the Dart Board ban.

 

What is on this paranoid Governments list of bans next ? 

 

Maybe coloured hair - as a health hazard
