Should have pulled the trigger.

Nothing new here. Just Thailand's future trying to kill each other. When I was a kid in the UK I was in trouble for carrying a box of matches. Now they carry guns and knives and bombs. Times change, I guess. It's called progress.

I watched a documentary on quick response armed police in the UK most if not all gun crime is gang related,

 They confiscate 3-4 guns a day real and fake, but there again they have special teams monitoring CCTV 24/7.
