It wouldn't surprise me if someone slid a live round into it to either sabotage the filming given the crew conditions and complaints.
At his age, he's probably expendable by the raving left now for other batshit crazies to step up and take over.
Sorry, grown-ups are accountable for what they do. In the real world, making excuses like "he told me the micrometer was calibrated," or "he told me the CNC program was proofed and good to go," don't fly.
But how many times has a “gun” been pointed at someone in a movie. Heck even close range. I saw a clip from the Deer Hunter — remember that final scene when Christopher Walken’s character was playing Russian Roulette and shot himself in the head? BTW, Christopher Walken hates guns. Was the gun a prop or a fully functional firearm? Was there a live round in it?

Here is the gruesome scene.
“I’d be pissed if the production company were using fully functional firearms.”
Most ‘prop guns’ are fully functional firearms.
“What you don't know won't kill you... well maybe it will after all.”
And so someone should be extra careful to make sure that idiot actors and production crews, most actors are idiots btw, are not hurt.
“And so someone should be extra careful to make sure that idiot actors and production crews, most actors are idiots btw, are not hurt.”
The producer, Alec Baldwin.
“And if I were an idiot actor like Baldwin, I wouldn’t know any differently.”
He was the producer. He should know.
“Okay, the person who is responsible for the safety of the crew is an idiot and doesn’t know firearm safety.”
Willful disregard of industry safety protocols. Criminal Negligience.
Reckless use of firearm resulting in death: Involuntary Manslaughter
Agreed. Definitely, someone is an will be held responsible.
“Agreed. Definitely, someone is an will be held responsible.”
Can you say the name? Alec Baldwin!
You are playing the same game as the leftist play. If we were to blame Baldwin without know the facts then we are no different than the anti-2nd Amendment crowd whenever there is a mass shooting.
“No.

ROTFLMAO!
“If we were to blame Baldwin without know the facts ...”
Fact: Baldwin shot two people killing one.
Fact: Baldwin was the producer. The producer is required to enforce safety protocols.
Fact: Industry safety protocols require all handlers of weapons and anyone near the line of fire to check the weapon.
Fact: As producer Baldwin did not enforce safety protocols.
Fact: As actor Baldwin did no comply with safety protocols.
He is a idiot and doesn’t know firearms. He has had no training and shouldn’t be in the position of being in charge of the firearms. Maybe that was his first error. But he was paying someone to do that for him.
