Baldwin's firearms expert...

[MinorityRepublican]

Low budget film. She was hired because she was “cheap”? Her resume looked good enough because her father had worked in the industry?

I have a dumb question: Why were there any live rounds on a movie set?

[marcusmaximus]

[Safrguns]

Still waiting for someone to ask why a live bullet was anywhere near a movie set.

[Guenevere]

Baldwin will make sure she takes the rap!

Leftie icon Baldwin had a substandard, scab crew on the set, because the union guys walked off to protest working conditions.

Union-busting choreographer killer.

What were live rounds doing on the set in the first place?

[proxy_user]

None of these articles discuss the credentials or background of the head armorer at this particular movie, which is a crucial point.

Any typical rangemaster from a large police department would have done it safely and professionally. This is Hollywood incest at work again.
This bimbo was more interested in selfies than knowing her job.
24 year old girls are not generally “experts” in that field.

[DesertRhino]

And the fact that they hire people like her explains why movies suck so much and look so fake.

[The Mayor]

All the more reason for Baldwin to check his weapon before firing.
Why were live rounds even on location?

[edwinland]

Obviously a lot of unanswered questions, but all the ones people actually are asking COULD have answers

1. Why was there live ammo on the set? Could be a mistake
2. Why was the gun handler unqualified? Maybe she was cheap compared to a real expert.
etc.

But there’s one question I haven’t seen raised anywhere: why was he firing the gun at a producer instead of another actor?

Even if the rounds were blank, why would you shoot blanks, except at another actor while you are filming a shooting scene?

[Telepathic Intruder]

I’ve never heard of anyone killed by a Star Trek phaser, because some idiot loaded it with live power packs instead of prop ones.

At least her finger isn’t on the trigger

She didn’t point the gun at another person. Baldwin did. She didn’t pull the trigger. He did. Alex Baldwin needs to take responsibility.

“Reed told the podcast hosts loading blanks in prop guns was “the scariest” thing to her, because she didn’t know how to do it.”

That’s sad. And now someone is dead.

“Reed told the podcast hosts loading blanks in prop guns was “the scariest” thing to her, because she didn’t know how to do it ... but it was something her dad had helped her work through.”

That doesn’t fit into my normal understanding of the word “armorer.”
