Guns exacerbate a volatile situation. Certainly it is a person who pulls the trigger, but the presence of a gun can make a violent , emotionally charged altercation deadly. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundooman Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 20 hours ago, webfact said: Apisak, 61, was performing religious rites to send off his daughter over the next three days. He said he'd met and talked to his son who apologized and said he was in the wrong. He said he was speechless at losing his daughter and his son in one fell swoop. I have sympathy for the father at losing his children in this way. However, for someone who was speechless - he sure seemed to have a lot to say! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem in UK now is knives I have know idea what one can do about a person being confronted by someone with a knife other than shooting them. ???? knives are no use except when practically next to your assailant, where guns are the exact opposite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamfalang Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Also no bombing allowed in Ukraine. Crazy people do what they are going to do. Why didn’t anyone prevent this? Prevention possible? I’m too busy at the bar, so I can’t help the world. Better to watch and comment later. Now get out there and make a difference!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 If some posters think that Thailand has too many guns, you should go to the USA, and see all the gun shops, or the used gun sales at markets etc. That country has been awash with weapons for many years, and it will be like that for as long as we live. I guess with their 300 million plus population and gun ownership etched in the right to bear arms attitude that they are born with, well what else can I say about America, Apple Pie, and their quest for Freedom, as I have heard that a Truck convoy has gone to Washington DC, for a protest. Even in Canada, there are groups of people who are still protesting in cities like Calgary Alberta. Crazy world we live in. I do feel sorry for the father who lost his daughter, and will have his son in some jail for several years. Hope his wife will recover from COVID as well.

Andre0720 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 On 3/12/2022 at 4:39 PM, Liverpool Lou said: "...more than 1 million guns are illegally owned" .What's that got to do with my question re how easy it is to own a gun legally here as that poster claimed? That aside, I'd wonder how that alleged article would know how many illegal guns there are in Thailand, it's not as though there's a register of them. Anyone could just as easily claim that there are, say, only 1000 illegally owned guns as that assertion that there are one million of them. No one would ever be able to check! With what I have heard, what I know personally, what I have seen on TV news on a regular basis, and how Thais are afraid to use their horn fearing being shot at, I would be inclined to lean towards the "million" guns owned, legally or illegally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhatupThailand Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Tell the victim of a home invasion about NOT Having a Gun, while he watches his wife and daughter being raped. Do you think he feels so Virtuous at the moment ? How about anyone unarmed being assaulted by Thugs ? OK, go ahead and run toward that cliff, will you fly like a angel ?

spidermike007 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Boys are an overly entitled gender here in the LOS. Boys from an early age are told they are special. What parents need to start doing is to tell their sons: 1. You are nothing special. You become special when you prove yourself to be a worth person. An exemplary character. A cut above the rest. Someone who gives and does not just take. 2. Your sister is special. She works hard, she is ambitious, and she is not lazy. Prove yourself to be at least equal to her. Women run this country. 3. Respect is not freely given. It must be earned. Go out into the world and earn respect. Until then, you are just a normal kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
