The article discusses the rise in calls for stricter gun control measures following two recent incidents in Thailand - a school shooting in Nonthaburi and the killing of the Nonthaburi provincial administrative organisation chief.

The author argues that stricter licensing could lead to a rise in illegal gun ownership and use.
