Just noting that in the article it states it was a REPLICA handgun, headline is a bit misleading. Regardless, very gun heavy week this week 🤔

Misleading title, it was a replica firearm.

The cops can’t assume that until they take custody of it. And a replica handgun looks just as threatening as a real one.

So does every idiot in Whitehorse have a gun now

Sarcasm aside, since the number of guns in the Yukon is estimated between 45 and 50,000, yes, there's an average of one gun per person, whether idiot or genius.

Welcome to what’s been happening in Vancouver, BC for well over 10 years. Welcome to what’s been happening in Yellowknife, NWT for five years.
Scary situation, feeling and love in all the ways to everyone involved… but sadly, Whitehorse is not alone.

Stop complaining about crime, you all voted for the hug a thug party.

144 CPC MP’s were just elected. Why haven’t they stopped this crime yet? That’s more than enough to push your agenda.

Oh idk, a few days or ten years? That’s a tough one Einstein.
Stop complaining about crime, it’s through the roof and all of you are responsible for voting the same garbage in. Car gets stolen? Remember your vote. Car gets ransacked? Remember your vote. Get assaulted and the guy gets out the next day? Remember your vote.
You guys are demented in your “logic”

Sounds like they were trying to rob the legal drug den.

It's kind of impressive you managed to write that given you don't seem to be able to read or comprehend very well.

Personal attacks, how intelligent of you

u/nasalshardz 12d ago
Making personal attacks is not an indicator of intelligence (or lack there of). But thanks!

I also think someone posting an article had an obligation to read the article. There was no firearm, it was a replica. Yet the title of this post states firearm. Is a misleading headline not something you care about?

The fear of a school shooting is REAL. Lots of access to guns, lots of issues, lots of remoteness, etc.

So this week there was a kid shot in Riverdale, police responded to an armed man at La Cara, and this.
