Thai gun shop pivots to bakery amid strict firearm import ban

A firearms shop in Bangkok has pivoted to selling bread due to a ban on importing firearms in Thailand, a measure implemented following several mass shootings. The owner, Warintorn Boonyachai, hopes the ban will be lifted, but recent events, including a school shooting, have led to proposals for further restrictions on firearm permits. Industry representatives argue these measures may not effectively address gun violence and could push some individuals towards illegal arms markets. AI
