“Misfire” is where I stopped reading.
Garbage.
The gun did not misfire. It fired perfectly. It was aimed, however, in a direction that killed its apparent intended victim. Why else would the perpetrator (the shooter, not the gun) have aimed a loaded gun at an intended victim and pulled the trigger? The most basic training in the use of guns absolutely prohibits such an action.
Additionally, why would a person who adamantly opposes gun ownership and gun use be handling a gun? Why then would this opponent of gun ownership have pointed the gun at an intended victim and discharged the weapon?
The gun did not aim itself and it did not discharge itself. Alec Baldwin aimed the gun and pulled the trigger. That much is manifestly obvious.
