According to the records, the gun was one of three that the film’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez, had set on a cart outside the wooden structure where a scene was being acted. Assistant director Dave Halls grabbed the gun from the cart and brought it inside to Baldwin, unaware that it was loaded with live rounds, a detective wrote in the search warrant application.

This story gets stupider by the hour. Loud-mouth anti-gun celebrity with a legendary short fuse is on a set where loaded weapons can be passed around without any supervision.
Spreading blame among Baldwin; the Assistant Director; armorer Hannah Gutierrez; whoever was supposed to load the guns with blanks if not Gutierrez; and everyone else on the set who had access to firearms HG foolishly left on a cart, smells like the work of a lawyer. IMHO, Baldwin is guilty of negligent homicide no matter how many idiots helped.

So three people handled that gun and noone checked that it was unloaded? Hard to believe even among Hollywood liberals — a lot more of them are gun savvy than admit it. They only thing us peons shouldn’t be able to defend ourselves.
Put the guns on a cart and assistant director picked one up and brought it inside....So the firearms were left unattended???? Oh big no no there.
