Thai Leader Promises Ban on Public Gun Carrying After School Attack

A 14-year-old killed eight and wounded 22 at a Thai school on August 7, 2026. PM Anutin Charnvirakul then promised a law allowing only on-duty government officials to carry guns in public — banning everyone else. He has not shared a draft law, timeline, or supporters in parliament. As interior minister, he previously tightened gun rules.
