the armorer is going down, but there is plenty of blame to go around.
The guy makes some good possible points, of course, but the reason for the post asking about Liz Cheney possibly shooting her friend in the face obviously comes from this Big Dick Cheney story: https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/269143-dick-cheney-has-yet-to-apologize-to-the-man-he-shot-in-the-face
So, let’s say there was one bullet that did the killing. All the other five were blanks. How did that one bullet get into the firing position? It had have a particular difference than the other bullets so it could be manually brought into proper position so when the hammer is cocked, it will be rotated into the firing position. That had to be done carefully and one had to know which bullet was the deadly one. The deadly one had to be marked.
It’s strange that after Baldwin shot Hutchins that Gutierrez-Reed “took the spent casing out” and handed the prop gun over to investigators, according to a newly released affidavit from the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office. Did she remove the marked casing and return an unmarked casing? Was Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed both in on the deal?
In my humble opinion.
I watched the Steponallofus interview last night.
Baldwin explained exactly what he did.
He pulled back the hammer and before it locked he released it and it slammed into the round with enough momentum/force to ignite the primer. No trigger required. Pretty basic.
I’m thinking they were doing some fun shooting with live rounds earlier in the day and forgot to remove the live rounds. Just my take.
