Thailand has suspended all firearm licences nationwide, with Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul warning today, August 12, that politicians must not carry guns, since doing so could raise ethical questions affecting their eligibility for office.
The Cabinet’s decision, taken a day earlier, followed a school shooting in Nonthaburi that killed nine people, including the attacker.
“No one can carry a gun now because there are no longer any valid gun-carrying permits in Thailand,” Anutin said, speaking at Sanam Luang in Bangkok.
He added that public figures needed to set an example, saying, “As public figures, we have to set an example.
The bodies of the student and his grandparents were cremated on Tuesday, August 11, at Tem Rak Samakkhi temple in Nonthaburi.
