Whoever holds the gun is “responsible” for checking the gun and it’s safety. It’s that simple.
Guns don’t kill people. Stupid people with guns kill people.
This is the safety protocol I would expect. Sounds like a few people screwed up.
[[“And then very lastly, the actor checks the gun,” she said of Baldwin,]]
And there it is- Negligent Homicide on his part-
but really- the person to check ‘lastly’, should be the ones who have the guns pointed at them in scenes- They should be assured by checking themselves, that the guns that are going to be pointed in their directions are safe-
Feels like there is more to the story that 'scab prop guy messed up'
I’ve worked on multiple shows and don’t recall the actor using the gun is to check if it is loaded or not. Many actors have never held or know how a gun works. Any feedback from my Hollywood/NY peeps?
Something happened with arec barwin and a firearm? 😏🙌
Just a hunch - I bet he was also drunk, or high.
you never hand over, or receive a gun without verifying that it is clear. period
I hope the husband lawyer sues the shit out of this pig, Baldwin.
Baldwin should end up.sleepung under a bridge , pushing and shopping cart holding the last bit of rubbish he owns or controls.
The person who holds the gun and fires it is responsible for all the effects of the bullet. One cannot give this responsibility to anyone else. That rule was imprinted indelibly in my brain by the retired cop who gave me the pistol safety training.
When someone hands you a gun, you must check it.
There is no such thing as “Idiot Proof”.
There is only “Idiot Resistant”.
The ingenuity of idiots knows no bounds.
The ‘’media’ keeps trying to portray this as an accident, as in ‘the gun misfired’ and now ‘other people made a mistake and did not check the pistol’.
This is looking more and more like an intentional homicide.
Who brought the live round on the set? Who had access to the weapon once it was cleared with the armorer? Was there any tension between Baldwin and these people killed and injured?
Guns don’t kill people, Alec Baldwin kills people.
Trump never shot anyone, can Alec Baldwin say the same?
He was shooting a revolver. The ammunition in a revolver isn't hidden in an internal magazine; the business ends of the cartridges are plainly visible from the front without even flipping the cylinder out. Wouldn't a simple final external inspection have revealed that were bullets loaded rather than the crimped end of a blank cartridge?
According to Variety,
“Rust” had seven production entities listed as backing the film: Alec Baldwin’s El Dorado Pictures, Thomasville Pictures, Cavalry Media, Brittany House Pictures, Short Porch Pictures and financiers Bondit Media Capital and Streamline Global.
In the military there are barrels with which one empties one’s gun on entering base or so. After a transport flight for instance. Why wouldn’t a multi million dollar movie set have one or two of these $40 items and train the actors to regularly shoot in to safety check?
An actor who’s going to use a gun should be certified to handle the gun fake, blanks or loaded. Just like in the military. I mean they’re getting paid, why not put forth a standard that any busy military outfit can manage.
Wonder how many people who get caught red handed after shooting and killing someone, claim they thought the gun was unloaded and the police don’t arrest them immediately? Probably none. Then again being a Hollywood, anti Trump, liberal icon has its privileges. Don’t expect cops controlled by Democratic politicians to do a real investigation or Soros financed DAs to seek justice. The fix is in.
Lock him up, lock him up, lock him up.
