Senior police connected to the technology force showed the results of two raids in Bangkok at a press conference in Pathum Thani yesterday.

 

Arrested was a man called Ton, 50, who was charged with the illegal sale of firearms and ammunition.

 

This was being done online. 

 

Seized were 2,103 guns known as blank guns in Thai and 142 air rifles plus more than 80,000 rounds of ammunition for both.

 

The police stressed that blank guns were not toys and could be adapted to fire real ammunition, reported Thai Rath.

The BB guns would probably be sold to customers who would shoot all of the pesty rats running around Bangkok. A community service lost just so police can get their photo taken with all those Weapons.
