Explained in plain English
How common is gun crime?
Gun crime varies significantly across the world. In Thailand, gun ownership is relatively high compared to many Asian nations, but mass shootings are less frequent than in countries like the US. This incident, where a student reportedly used a family gun, brings focus to gun control laws and the accessibility of firearms within households.
