Cracking down on online gun sales: Thai police take action after deadly mall shooting

Thai police are targeting online gun sales and closing legal loopholes in gun control efforts following a deadly shooting at a mall. The alleged 14-year-old shooter used a modified gun originally designed to fire blank rounds, which was purchased online. Authorities plan to charge the teenager with premeditated murder and will work to reclassify legally imported guns as deadly firearms. There are over 10,000 such guns in circulation in Thailand. The police chief emphasized the need for controlled firearms and improved enforcement, including blocking websites and online services offering to sell or modify firearms.
