Deputy PM Pakorn Nilprapunt says a sweeping amendment to the 1947 firearms law is expected before cabinet around mid-September after public consultation. Planned changes include linking licensing and registration systems, making gun dealers share oversight responsibility, and tighter regulation of shooting ranges. Most small businesses are unaffected unless they deal in firearms, ammunition, shooting or security equipment, in which case watch for new dealer duties. A possible amnesty for surrendering unregistered guns is also under consideration.
