Thai PM vows to introduce stricter gun laws after eight killed in shooting
英文原文 B2
Thailand's Prime Minister has promised to bring in new gun control measures following a tragic shooting incident near Bangkok. A teenager, just 14 years old, shot and killed his grandparents at their home and then traveled to Debsirin School in Nonthaburi. He was a student there. At the school, he shot and killed five teachers before ending his own life. Another student also succumbed to their injuries later. After the incident, Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul announced his intention to introduce new laws that would limit the carrying of guns in public places. These new rules would only permit government officials on duty to carry firearms. A police colonel, Thadsakorn Konthong, revealed that the gun and bullets used in the attack were owned by the teenager's grandfather. An initial examination showed that the firearm had been searched for inside the grandfather's bedroom. Both international and local media have reported that the gun was legally registered and had the necessary permit. Thailand has one of the highest rates of civilian gun ownership in Southeast Asia, with an estimated 10. 3 million firearms in civilian hands, around four million of which are thought to be owned illegally. While the country has strict gun laws that can result in up to 10 years in prison for illegal possession, enforcing these laws has been challenging.

泰国总理承诺在曼谷附近发生的一起悲剧性枪击事件后，将采取新的枪支管控措施。一名14岁的少年在家中枪杀了祖父母，然后前往位于北柳府的Debsirin学校，他曾是该校学生。在学校，他枪杀了五名教师，随后结束了自己的生命。另一名学生后来也因伤去世。
事件发生后，总理阿努廷·查恩维拉库尔宣布了引入新法律，限制在公共场所携带枪支。这些新规定仅允许在岗政府官员携带枪械。
警察上校Thadsakorn Konthong透露，攻击中使用的枪支和子弹属于少年的祖父。初步调查显示，这把枪曾在祖父的卧室里被搜查过。
国内外媒体都报道说，这把枪是合法注册的，并拥有必要的许可证。
泰国是东南亚民用枪支拥有率最高的国家之一，估计有1030万支枪在民间手中，其中约400万被认为是非法拥有。虽然该国对非法持有枪支的处罚严厉，最高可判10年监禁，但执法一直面临挑战。
