Thai Tragedy Exposes Flaws in Gun Laws and Educational Culture A 14 year old student's rampage through his school and home has left seven people dead and over 30 injured.
The attack raises disturbing questions about Thailand's gun laws, which appear to be stringent but are often lacking in enforcement.
Thailand's gun laws permit civilians to own firearms with licenses, but a significant proportion of guns in circulation are unlicensed. Estimates suggest that up to 40% of firearms owned by civilians are illegal.
