Thai PM Pledges Civilian Gun Carry Ban After School Massacre

After a 14-year-old killed eight and wounded 22 at Debsirin Nonthaburi School on August 7, 2026, Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul pledged a new law restricting firearm carry to on-duty government officials only — effectively banning civilian carry in public. The announcement lacks a draft bill, timeline, or legislative sponsors. Anutin previously tightened gun rules as interior minister.
