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.

Yeah, our cops are horrible and legal system ain't great either.

What we know so far, the guy was also committed to an asylum for hearing voices telling him to kill people.

Seems like yet another failure of people not doing their jobs yet again.

I'm fairly fresh into act 3, just did the shadowheart part and man, that was heavy.

Definitely gonna be doing a new play though with my opposite choices though.

I do gotta say, I'm enjoying the challenge of tactician but man does my lvl 11 monk suck and is just so squishy, anyone got any recommendations to strengthen her up to take more than 2 hits?

Karlach, 100%, she starts to grow more in act 3 too, though shadowheart does the whole story.

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.

I haven't looked into them, but I'd bet they're just in a both mature and oversaturated market. There's not much they can do to gain new people, everyone knows what Netflix is across all first world markets and a corpo won't care about the others.

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.
