The government sought to allay concerns Wednesday that proposed gun-control measures would undermine the public's right to self-defence, stating that no decision has been made to impose a blanket ban on firearms and that public feedback is being considered.
The government's objective was not to revoke the right of lawful self-defence or restrict sporting activities such as competitive shooting, but to place firearm ownership, carrying and use under tighter supervision, government deputy spokeswoman Lalida Persvivatana said.
