I'm pretty skeptical of this imagined epithet of "leftist". Particularly so with it being applied to my avatar..
But let's move on from that particular boogeyman of poor poster 'bigre1775'.......and let's take note of the moveable goalpost he wants to hide behind.
To wit, he's alleged the FBI, including the many many parents within the FBI, 'want dead children' as a policy goal...and when he got a smidgen of pushback on that nutjobbery, well, he changes his goalpost to now being "one of your own taking a hit" ...to advance gun control.
"One" taking a hit meaning what? Being shot? Sacrificing a son or daughter to be shot?
At any rate, in good poster 'bigre1775' narrow world of RemOil and barrel swabs he's gone from all of the FBI (including the aforementioned parents) being responsible for mass shootings to now some anonymous false-flag 'leftist' being the shooter (at Uvalde?) (at Sandy Hook?) (at Marjorie Stoneman?).
Tell us, good poster 'bigre1775', do you really believe those dead 6yr olds at Sandy Hook were crisis actors? Same for the dead 9yr olds in Uvalde?
Free advice, amigo: As a gun advocate you need to tread a bit more responsibly.
You are making all gun owners look like crazed gripper nutjobs.
No disrespect intended.

(underlining by my me)
Yes, poster BackAgain, mein freund, my avatar and likely all of the forum are aware you are talking about supposed 'advanced information'.
We all know that.
But you see, my friend, there are degrees of 'advanced', nuances to 'advanced'.
Meaning time, mostly.
So if this proves true, that some gal somewhere in Germany alleges she communicated with some anonymous gamer who said threatening things about a school somewhere.....well, how much time did anyone have to vet her tale?
The gaming corporation that controlled the website?
And then the time it took to determine if it was serious and not just another teenage gun-nut fantasizing under a false name on a website?
And to who ---and when ---- did anybody convey that to authorities in the country they determined the poster was gaming from? And the supposed targeted school? In which state, province, region?
In short, amigo, there are real world realities that you seem to be blissfully unaware of.
But yet, you take your paranoia over FBI-boogeymen out for a little whirl&twirl on American social media.
In short, you are being irresponsible and reckless.
And contributing to the grievance-vibe that thrives in American social media venues.
Exactly the same as the poster I just responded to above, poster 'big1775'.
Your avatar doesn’t speak. You speak under the name you chose as your username. An avatar is an associated image.
You don’t even
have an avatar.
Putting aside your precious little posing and posturing, let’s discuss the balance of your pointless: You’re wrong.
There are
no degrees to “advanced” warning. A kid told the FBI about the specific concerns. Given events in the last few years, ANY heads up that comes
before such a tragic incident (
i.e., in advance of the incident) is
advanced warning. Period. Your present quibble is annoyingly irrelevant.
And, despite your pontificating tendency to feign superior intellect, you are too dim-witted to even address the actual point. Let me simplify it for a person of your limited intellect. Regardless of how specific or non-specific the prior warning was, it was worth further INVESTIGATION. Had that been done, it is not a given (but it certainly improves the prospect) that the specifics might have been uncovered with enough lead-time to earn those poor people. Local law enforcement
might have gotten there AHEAD of time. That’s the virtue of
advanced warning.
As to your concern about use of the term “leftist.” My reply to your “concern” is “get over yourself.” You may choose to deny reality, but it remains reality all the same that the term “leftist”
does have actual meaning. It isn’t a tool with surgical precision, maybe; but it does refer to a mindset that is unquestionably different than the mindset of the right.
You, on the left,
do tend to react in a shitty fashion by seeking to make partisan political points after any such tragedy. You seek to make use of the tragedy and you seek to employ the obvious and understandable emotional aspect of the reaction to TAKE ADVANTAGE of the emotion rather than to waste a
moment of that
feeling.
I recently advised
rightwinger and I share it with you. The notion of grappling with any possible legislative “solution” comes with associated difficulties. So, despite your urgent desire to make
quick use of the emotion of the moment, the reality is that any proposed legislation will HAVE to hammer-out terms, conditions, and procedural and substantive safeguards. And yes. It
does take time. Seeking to rush-through a bill to seize the immediate moment (and the emotion) is going to continue to be
denied.
That’s not my “avatar” talking; nor is it my username. It’s just me. And I’m happy to debate any part of it — but on the level. I will continue to reject your efforts to invoke fallacy and hyperbole.
