The movie “Rust” is about an accidental killing....with a gun.

https://www.npr.org/2021/10/22/1048295916/props-gun-death-injuries-rust-movie-set-rare Prop masters are in charge of a production's props before, during and shortly after filming. Along with armorers — the crew members who work with the guns on set — and stunt coordinators, prop masters coordinate with actors, producers and the director during filming. "When I'm doing a training session with a performer, my main guideline, the heartbeat of the conversation, is to make sure that they are treating any weapon — whether it's a bladed weapon or a firearm — as if it could potentially kill somebody. And those are usually the words I use," said UCLA's Williams. "It's a serious situation and everyone's got to be on their game." Hollywood adheres to Safety Bulletins, written and distributed by the Industry-Wide Labor-Management Safety Committee, for standards on weapon and prop safety, as well as other rules. In the first bulletin addressing firearms and the use of blank ammunition, the document notes prominently: "TREAT ALL FIREARMS AS THOUGH THEY ARE LOADED." It goes on to say live ammunition is to never be used nor brought onto a set. However, these are recommendations and not binding law.

If it has live bullets...it's not a prop gun.
Wait till we find out it was Baldwin's personal gun.

Well, that explains how he killed one and injured another with a single shot. It wasn’t a blank.
It is obvious Baldwin has absolutely no knowledge of basic gun safety. His negligent gun handling should net him a manslaughter or negligent homicide charge.
Fat chance of that, though.

Baldwin may not face criminal charges, but he’s going to take a huge financial hit. The movie will likely never be completed and he’s going to get sued. He’s one of the producers.
To: marcusmaximus
Makes sense, considering that a person is dead.

Tragedy.. Poor woman. You could almost feel sorry for Baldwin, too..... almost. Too bad it wasn’t the suicide scene at the end where he offs himself. :/

The true tragedy is that “Team America: World Police” wasn’t a real life documentary.

It is now being reported some crewmembers was using it for live target practice a day or two before the shooting.
On movie sets a safety officer is required to show the gun to the actor and then show that it is unloaded and both have to agree it is unloaded.

If you or I were out hunting, or doing some demonstration of firearms, and the same thing happened - you know political D.A.s would aggressively prosecute. 3rd degree murder - at minimum, with accessorial charges for anyone there.
Will the same happen to Baldwin and folks on set?
Prepare for lots of leftist hypocrisy.

Yeah. A big mistake was made, and this falls back on the movie producers. I’m sure, in keeping with the leftists’ style of blame, they will find someone other than the people bankrolling the movie to throw under the bus.
