Agreed. But I don’t blame Baldwin. I blame the set director, etc. Whomever is in charge.

And my son, who had never shot a firearm at the time, was shooting his “AK-47” at his friends. Good thing that it wasn’t a real AK-47 but we knew that. Or assumed that it wasn’t real when we bought it for him for Christmas. Actually, I knew and no it was not capable of firing the standard AK cartridge.

Alec Baldwin was in charge.

Not only did he not have a safe movie set, he personally violated movie set weapons protocols.

Someone hands you a gun, and says, "here, point it at that guy and pull the trigger," and you're telling me it's ok to take their word for it that it's safe?

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.
