Excuse for more gun control?
Probably. Obviously everybody’s fault except Lord Alec hisself.
Yet another excerpt from the aforementioned 10 YEAR OLD COMMENTARY:
Thirdly, with the nearly endless variety of facsimile weapons available in the professional show business market there is almost no justification for the use of a “real firearm” on any movie,television or theatre set.
There are even realistic airsoft pistols on the general market “that will get you killed” they are so difficult to distinguish from “real guns” even at close range. The slides rack, the magazines drop, the safety operates just like a “real gun”.
I have said it before and I repeat it here: Weapons are not toys or props, not for entertainment, relaxation or sport. They are tools to be treated with utmost respect whose purpose is to put food on the table or to disable some critter with four or two legs before they harm you or your loved ones.
If presented in an entertainment venue let them be portrayed in that light and no other.
Sorry Mr. Selleck, chalk up a demerit for yourself in this little tale.
