Scary that this is only the ones they tell us about. What about the other 90% never found

If they know all these illegal guns are out there why isn't there a continuous process to confiscate them and a continuous process to nail and seriously punish both buyers and sellers.

What's this really got to do with songkran?

What they have just relieved the local hoodlums of would be incorrect to to talk in percentage terms of what is out there... we are talking PPM (parts per million) and then only probably a single digit number...

this is Thailand. It's all about appearances. Reality is not a priority.

A recent Vice documentary estimated that gun ownership in Thailand may be as high as 70%, due to the manufacture of zip guns in small workshops scattered about the cities and villages...I consciously avoid interacting with Thai men due to the real possibility that they may be armed, stupid, and drunk...

No, and that is one of the problems with both the police AND military. Or, to use another saying, Too many cooks...

[Rayk]

They owe it all to their Go Pro's.
