I think it’s important enough to note, there’s no evidence showing this was the plan in any Soviet campaign in WW2. (But this is based off memory so there could be a single digit number of times)

In WW1? That would be accurate. Say what you will about Soviets but weapons were something they could produce and properly supply unlike the tsar.

In the Ukraine war though you are probably correct.

I can go point by point in his comment, but the core issue I am point out applies to all of it. We have the laws to have prevented this, we have the tools needed to stop so many mass shootings. But the overwhelming majority of the time cops don’t enforce the laws, they’re either incompetent, lazy or refuse to do the job they signed up for.

You can have every law in the world, you can have the best piece of legislation that perfectly outlines and covers every single possibility, but if nobody enforces it you don’t have shit.

Guns in society can exist just fine, they already are one of the smallest types used in Violent crimes, we can repeal the NFA and get back fully automatic weapons and still be safe if we could have a functioning police force that enforces the laws that matter instead of revenue generating ones.

It’s amazing how much you have typed just to completely ignore the entire point of my argument. Please get some reading comprehension.

This article is terrible, Maine has yellow flag laws, which is a much more constitutionally acceptable version of red flag laws. the family did what they were supposed to do, it seems likely (they won’t talk about it) that the cops once again won’t do their jobs and because of that even more people died.

We already have the laws needed to prevent the majority of mass shootings but unless we get better cops no law will meaningfully help and tyrants will use this as an excuse to just get rid of guns rather than maintain rights, not alienate half the country and actually solve the other underlying problems.

Maybe not 100% of the time but at least 80-90% of the time it’s always the police, or DA failing to do their job properly. If you’re pending a felony trial you cannot own/buy guns until you’re proven innocent, and they should be confiscated. I cannot imagine how this man would not be chargeable.

Similar goes for many shootings, they plea down to a lesser charge or the cops just don’t do their job and let go obvious crimes.

Here’s what I’ve done when attempting at my workplace via the postal workers union.

Get in contact with an organizer, they are there to help guide you or who ever wants to be the main leader of this effort. I will say, as the lead organizer in my attempt, it’s just talking a lot, and getting people to a meeting, it kinda sucks but isn’t a huge ordeal to do, and takes maybe 2 hours in a busy week.

I went through the AFL-CIO website aflcio.org/formaunion and filled out my information, during my major attempt it took half a week to get in contact with an organizer, though it could take a bit longer.

You’ll get in contact with an organizer and they’ll get a rundown of your workplace and what it looks like.

After that there’s about an hour’s worth of training to know your rights and what works for your union.

Then you’ll be pretty much ready to go to start talking with coworkers to try and get an organizing committee (10% of your workplace) which will be your main coworkers who should be all about the idea, after that 10% then you’ll start convincing everyone in your workplace and soon after that collect signatures.

Then you’ll go to an election, sadly I do not have much information to get beyond here as the movement fell apart in my workplace during signatures due to a weak organizing committee.

Hope this helps ya out and if you want any additional information I’m happy to share, we need more unions especially in IT!

I’ve asked the same thing to my organizer and it was basically telecom is the closest to it under the AFL-CIO umbrella, and i believe he said they may end up getting an IT specific union once enough get unionized.

Love that most of the world’s governments came together and said “collective punishment is bad, we should make it illegal during times of war” and shit like this can still fly within any first world country.

Glad I haven’t played a cod game in years.

There’s already a report button if someone has an issue with it let them report it, this is just going to lead to a ton of false positives or be completely useless.

To be fair, Austin has to be not far behind LA as some of the worst. Everything in Texas is made for cars only basically.

Don’t forget for trying to form a union too!

There’s plenty of 2010-2015ish cars with dogshit radios that are hard to find, expensive to get or literally impossible to find good replacements for, thanks to vehicle manufacturers killing of the DIN system.

It’s pretty easy to point to how he’s getting his son handled in court. While a far cry from trying to overthrow the government it is corruption regardless.

This isn’t a trump 5d chess thing or whatever but it might honestly be the smarter move for him to just keep riling up his base and make it a guarantee riot if he gets jailed.

Seems pretty likely he’s fucked legally so he’s put in a situation that breaking law and order is probably his best move.
