A 12-year-old robs a gas station with a handgun firing one shot into the ceiling. I can't remember the last time I heard a gas station ging robbed with a handgun in Canada. And people claim the US does not have a gun problem.

It happens all the time in Canada. Most of the time with a replica although there are some cases where a real gun is used.

Knives, machetes and bear spray are a bit more common in the LMD though when it comes to robberies.

I can't remember the last time I heard a gas station being robbed with a real gun. If you can afford a gun why would you be robbing a gas station for $100. Most times gas stations are robbed by drug addicts needing money for a fix.

You're assuming that they purchased the gun to commit the crime. Most of these guys who dabble in robberies also do BNEs and thefts from vehicles knowing firearms are present in homes.

Also, its not crazy expensive to buy a stolen 10/22 and cut down the stock and barrel to make it easy to conceal. Welfare Wednesday money is more than enough to buy a gun to go commit crimes with. Better yet, buy a bulk amount of dope so you can sell/trade off a few points for a gun.

Here's a recent robbery from the island using a firearm.

Here's one from the Okanagan.

Simple Google search shows results from across the country.

Also most people robbing the gas stations know that there isn't that much money in the till. They still take it cause they can but the target items typically end up being cartons of smokes and scratch tickets they can sell later.

I didn't disagree with you're point about the US having a gun problem, simply pointing out canada has one too.

But…. You know it’s not the same, right

A 12 year old is robbing a gas station and the issue is the gun?…

westopher 06-05-2022 10:22 AM

Well it is actually 1 of the two issues.

MarkyMark 06-05-2022 10:41 AM

Well if a 12 year old tried robbing you on the street what would you have more of an issue with, him being 12 or the gun pointed at you?

We have owned a gas station for decades and have not had a single armed robbery. I also know a number of gas stations owners and they have never had a armed robbery with a gun. Why would you risk gun charges when all you need is a knife. Corporate policies are just to give what every the robber wants and not resist. The problem with the US is guns are dirt cheap. You can get a new one for under $200.

What is the cost cost of a black market bun these days because if it's over a grand robbing a gas station is not worth it.

Canadian, 17, accused of threatening mass shooting at Florida Pride event

pastarocket 06-07-2022 12:29 PM

Actor Matthew McConaughey, a native of Uvalde Texas, gave a speech to implore US lawmakers to get something done on gun reform in order to protect American lives.

-quite a moving speech as he talks about his conversations with the some parents of the deceased children. -full of anger and sadness as he tries to hold back tears.

He said "We heard from families of the deceased, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, border patrol and responsible gun owners"

"Do you know what they said??"

They said "We want secure and safe schools and we want gun laws that won't make it easy for the bad guys to get these damn guns!"

It was pretty painful to hear McConaughey's speech. FeelsBadMan

Inb4 “ShUt Up HolY WOOd ElItEs” in regards to Matthew McConaughey’s plea.

mikemhg 06-07-2022 05:18 PM

I was blown away you can buy a bazooka in the US.

For some reason I figured grenades and RPGs were illegal to purchase down there. Guess not.

I suppose they come in handy when hunting? :lol

Stupid country.

320icar 06-14-2022 07:10 PM


Worth the watch

320icar 06-16-2022 10:54 AM

No response in over a week.

I guess that’s all it takes. America has moved on, this will happen again, people will shout from the roof top “how much longer will we let this happen!” And They’ll repeat the cycle of thoughts and prayers, no actions and peoples lives ending.

JDMDreams 06-16-2022 11:23 AM

Nothing like a good old American shooting to make it great again.

Mean while in Vancouver Killarney is currently in lock down cuz weapons reported:lawl:

lol, it was just an axe, not a gun.
But they never found the suspect...
axe murderer on the loose.

Full hallway footage.


SkinnyPupp 07-12-2022 07:49 PM

So cops were there 2 or 3 minutes after the first shots were fired.. How did so many kids die?
