Firearm policy is strict for some people and lax for others, a recipe for problems. The horrific attack by an ex-policeman may spur calls for change, but it will not be easy.
The town of Uthai Sawan in Thailand, a Buddhist-majority country, began formally mourning the victims of a mass killing at a day care center, most of them children.
Anguished families were coming to terms with the loss of their young children as the nation pondered issues like gun violence and the widespread availability of deadly weapons.
The 36 victims of the mass shooting included a 2-year-old child and a teacher who was eight months pregnant, the police said. They identified the gunman as a recently fired officer.
