Popular Post hotchilli Posted October 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2023 The gun laws as they are, are probably adequate, enforcement of the laws is required. Courts need to get serious with gun infringements. Anyone modifying, selling, handling any firearm without a license mandatory 10 years. Anyone selling via any online platform gets the same. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One report (BP) says that he fired forty rounds with eleven hitting the deceased and wounded. That same story talks about his use of an Army-run (Territorial Defense Command/Royal Thai Army) shooting range, where he was "supervised" by (presumably) RTA personnel. Not sure if he rented firearms there, or used his modded weapons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the authorities released this information (a modified gun) to the public, pretty early on if I recall correctly. I think that they thought this would mitigate the situation implying that "real" firearms are "controlled", which they are not of course. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamus Yaigh Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 So the gun sellers have been named. Have the parents been named or explained themselves yet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvs Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 All the new jerking and maybe new laws will not change a thing! A bit of easing the anxious Chinese and all will be good again. A guy i know got stopped at a checkpoint and they found his 9mm under his seat. Three thousand baht"fine" and he still has the gun. Another three thousand the next time around,good for business. As long as the Royal Thai Police Force is what it is things will never change! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retarius Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 It is my understanding that selling a blank pistol is legal. It is confirmed that the 3 had modified it before selling it as an active weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
