How does a “prop” gun kill someone?
With a REAL bullet....................
A prop gun does not kill anyone.
People using items, kill other people.
It remains to be seen if this was negligent or malicious.
It can’t. If you treat it with the kind of respect for guns conservatives were raised with, such as always assuming it’s loaded, always assuming it’s capable of killing, and never pointing it at anyone you did not intend to kill, injure or maim. In other words, the way the yokels Baldwin looks down upon treat deadly or potentially deadly weapons.
“How does a “prop” gun kill someone?”
When it’s loaded incorrectly:
1. Wrong charge for the caliber. Too heavy or light.
2. Shrapnel of some kind that is expelled from the barrel.
3. Concussive force causes injury.
That’s just off the top of my head.
There will be so many lawsuits coming out of this that lawyers in every corner are salivating. From the prop master to the production company, to Baldwin, to the manufacturer. This is going to get really ugly.
Don’t point a gun at someone unless you mean to shoot that someone. Also, Mommy told me to never play with guns. Or, don’t take you gun to town, son.
I don’t know what happened in this particular case, but blanks might propel something that was in the barrel, maybe something like the brush head of a cleaning rod that got accidentally left in there.
