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.”

You’re welcome. I agree, it was a very good podcast. Also that the guy had just interviewed Brandon Lee before the accident that killed him on the set of The Crow.
give me a break!
I’m moving for Alec to be banned from future movie sets.
I thought that’s what I was saying.
I think I will limit Alec Baldwin on my movie nights
I am extremely interested in seeing Alec Baldwin charged with manslaughter.
How about limiting the use of idiots?
Limiting Alec Baldwin would probably be more effective
I am extremely interested in him shutting up or being shut up. Either one will work.
Here is my theory on what happened. Working with him is nearly impossible. He enraged someone beyond description while filming this movie. That “someone” loaded that weapon with real ammunition and placed it on the cart knowing someone who had checked it as being a “cold” weapon would hand it to Baldwin. The idea was to have Baldwin shoot someone with that gun and all of the blame go to him, the producer and the armorer without the offended party being blamed/found. Seems to have worked perfectly so far.
I guess if I mishandled a gun killed one and wounded another I would be as anti-gun as Baldwin.
Put him in the Can.
He shot a woman and she died. I do not think that those facts are in dispute.
Keep Liberals away from anything poisony, sharpish, or explodatious.
The world will be a better place, I think.
