Alec Baldwin ‘Extremely Interested’ in Limiting Use of Firearms on Film Sets
Breitbart ^ | 10/31/21 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 10/31/2021 1:15:42 PM PDT by conservative98

Baldwin spoke to reporters Saturday, responding to one question by saying he is “extremely interested” in limiting the use of firearms on movie sets.

He said, “I do know that an ongoing effort to limit the use of firearms on film sets is something I’m extremely interested in.”

Baldwin then asked reporters to remember how many guns have been fired on film sets during the past 75 years and stressed that those guns were fired “mostly without incident.”

However, he added, “We have to realize that when it does go wrong, and it’s this horrible catastrophic thing, some new measures have to take place.” He went on to suggest rubber guns or plastic guns as alternatives to functional guns that normally fire blanks.

Hollywood weapons expert Bryan Carpenter responded of the Hutchins’ death and Souza’s by suggesting Baldwin ignored the number rule of gun safety.

The New York Post quoted Carpenter stressing that the No. 1 rule as, “Loaded or unloaded, a weapon never gets pointed at another human being.”

He stressed that rules of gun safety apply even on a movie set, where “you never let the muzzle of a weapon cover something you don’t intend to destroy.”

Anyone who handles firearms will check if it is loaded when passing the firearm to another as the receiver will also check it. This should be considered a criminally negligent homicide

With all the crazy good and realistic video editing, no idea why a fake gun can’t be used along with fake smoke and sound effects.

“I do know that an ongoing effort to limit the use of firearms on film sets is something I’m extremely interested in.”

This man is stepping forward and leading the way to do the right thing.

I would expect nothing less.

Reportedly members of the party were shooting the firearm on the morning of the shooting. After the shooting the entire cast, including Baldwin, went on a two hour lunch break. What do you suppose that was about? Hmmmmm?

Yeh, that’s what you and your friends would do. The articles I read on this said actors rarely check the weapons and most do not know how. They have costume girls to take care of that sort of thing.

Agreed! I question his sincerity as he might be using the ploy most often implemented by politicians of saying what they think will put them in the best light.

I love how’s he’s trying to position himself as an expert source on this.

After killing someone on set with his gun.

Now its the armorer’s fault and anyone else who said the gun was ok, but its also on him.

And we now find out she, the armorer, was with the crew the night prior with that gun, with live ammo.

People that handle firearm in a professional setting like movie actors should be required to take (and pass) the NRA Firearm Safety Course offered online.

Like Harvey Weinstein. When things get too hot for celebrities, they start anti-gun crusades. It’s too late for both of them.
