Apropos of nothing:
I think Alex Baldwin put the 45 cartridge in the pistol with the intention of demonstrating how dangerous guns are. I doubt he meant to shoot the camera director.
Nothing personal, but you've just made my personal [BLEEP] List of People Shouldn't Be Allowed Within Light Years of ANY KIND of Weapon.
ANY KIND = pebbles to Thermonuclear devices.
Don't need to spend time "demonstrating how dangerous guns are"; Anyone with two functioning brain cells recognizes that a weapon is inherently dangerous. Loading one just demonstrates stupidity if not criminal disregard and irresponsibility.
(Yeah, Balwin's been on that list--plus a few others--for years.)
