I was just going to ask that question. How the <deleted>!

[ChrisY1]

What a country!.....Copycat Mexico!

[Get Real]

That´s what I always been saying. Teenagers are inventive and prepared people in Thailand. Who knows when a hand granade in the pack pack can come in handy.

[localczar]

none of them can read or write, or get a job, but they can get grenades.

 

In NA countries, drugs are easier to buy than cigarettes.

 

Just the way things are.

Not here long enough my friend. Everything is for sale. Selfmade guns. Grenades. Bazookas. Etc. The advantage of having once were lawless states surrounding your country. In myanmar alone there are enough weapons in the hands of ethnic armies to provide thailand for the next 50 years ???

 They can't afford lights for their motorbikes but they can afford a handgrenade 

[nakhonandy]

All weapons too easily available.

 

Hope they catch the idiots.

[clockman]

Temple fairs, deafning music, young girls dancing, drinking, rubbish for sale. Thai Buddhism at its best!

Yes, although the local media rarely report the fact a quick google search and an article on this troubling problem is easy to find. Read and be enlighten or pretty scared as I am after reading it.

Yes, doing their best.

On the other hand they are pretty successful in decimating their numbers of potential idiots ... 

 

A good decade ago i read an estimation of 'one illegal (?) firearm per male citizen aged over 18' in this country.

Now, with 2016 population/age structure that would be somewhere around 25 to 26 million pieces ... darn, that can't be correct, can it?

 

A lot of water under the bridges since, a lot of dead brain-cells too, so maybe it was more like the total of firearms here, including the army's (who knows how many) and registered gons (over 6m)?!

That would be a bargain. Much more expensive had you purchased them from the police.

OK that looks official so Thailand is superior

so it must be the rest of us who are idiots

 

and it shows in thai actions does it not as actions speak louder than words

 

Bull of a rear end stuff, I think get PM to put up a wall around the country let those who are ok 65 million leave

 

the rest to stay as they are vile lying people who deserve to live in a cesspit

 

Blame everyone else but themselves

 

To think I once loved this country more than my own

 

Big Mistake that was

In my day you fought with your fists.  Using the boots was unacceptable and now today you take grenades to a fight.
