Thailand Suspends Gun Permits After School Shooting; US Sees Familicides

Thailand has suspended the issuance of new firearm licenses following a mass shooting at a school in Nonthaburi that left nine people dead, including the teenage attacker and his grandparents. Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul ordered the interior ministry and police to halt permits for possessing, purchasing, and carrying firearms, calling for tighter controls and decisive penalties. The suspension is temporary until a new gun control law is enacted, according to government-operated news channel NBT World. The move comes amid a string of high-profile shootings in the country, which has high levels of firearms ownership.
