泰国一名14岁学生于8月7日在曼谷郊外一所学校开枪事件中至少射出26发子弹，致使5名教职员工和1名12岁学生身亡，这是泰国近四年来最严重的大规模杀人事件1。事件发生在该学生杀害祖父母后，随后携枪前往学校1。同周菲律宾南部城市三描礼士也发生学校枪击事件1，该事件中的枪支属于攻击者的父亲，一名海关警察官员1。
东南亚地区枪支泛滥现象日益严峻。泰国2017年估计民间拥有约1030万支枪支，占人口比例每100人约15支，为东南亚最高1。泰国仅有600万支登记枪支，超过400万支处于未登记状态1，该国枪支死亡率为每10万人3.49人，为亚洲最高之一1。在菲律宾，6月发生的达洛瓦学校枪击案中，一名攻击者使用了属于警察阿姨的格洛克手枪，另一名使用私人保安公司登记的左轮枪1。
针对这一问题，泰国总理阿努廷·詹维拉库尔已暂停新枪支购买许可证并下令审查现有执照1。东盟在2023年通过了打击武器走私宣言1。犯罪学家皮亚蓬·图涅库尔指出，"如果泰国人想要枪支，他们可以很容易地从黑市上获得非法枪支"1，反映出法律监管与执行脱节、跨境武器走私等深层原因。
A 14-year-old student in Thailand carried out a mass shooting on August 7, killing five school staff members and one 12-year-old student after first shooting his grandparents, marking the country's most severe mass killing incident in nearly four years 1. During the same week, another school shooting occurred in Zamboanga City in the southern Philippines 1.
The proliferation of firearms among youth in Southeast Asia reflects deeper structural vulnerabilities. Thailand has an estimated 10.3 million civilian-owned guns, the highest in the region at approximately 15 firearms per 100 people, yet only 6 million are registered, leaving over 4 million unregistered 1. The country's gun homicide rate of 3.49 per 100,000 people ranks among Asia's highest 1. In the Philippine incidents, attackers obtained weapons through family connections: the Zamboanga shooter accessed a gun belonging to his father, a customs police officer, while in an earlier June shooting in Davao, one attacker used a Glock pistol registered to a police relative and another wielded a revolver registered to a private security company 1.
Criminologist Piapong Tuneekul explained that the accessibility stems from both legal and illegal sources, stating: "If Thai people want guns, they can very easily get illegal guns from the black market" 1. The gunman in Thailand fired at least 26 rounds during the attack 1. In response, Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul suspended new firearm purchase licenses and ordered a review of existing permits 1. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations adopted a declaration against weapons trafficking in 2023 1.
