On a Friday morning in Nonthaburi, near Bangkok, a student opened fire at Debsirin School, killing at least two people and wounding fifteen others before dying by his own hand. The violence arrived without warning into an ordinary school day, leaving a community in grief and a nation once again confronting a question it has long deferred: how many such mornings must pass before the weight of ten million circulating firearms demands a reckoning? Thailand has heard this question before, and answered it with silence.
