Within hours of a shooting near Bangkok that left at least eight dead, Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul vowed to introduce a new firearms control law in Southeast Asia's largest gun-owning nation. ⁣
⁣
Anutin, who previously tightened gun laws when he was interior minister, will now propose a law to restrict the carrying of firearms by the public.⁣
⁣
In Friday's incident, a Thai teenager fatally shot his grandparents before killing at least five people and himself at a school outside Bangkok. ⁣
⁣
Thailand had an estimated 10.3 million firearms in civilian possession, equating to around 15 guns per 100 residents, according to a 2017 estimate by the Small Arms Survey. ⁣
