Alec Baldwin took to Instagram to share a tweet he penned on his now-private account that declared his desire to see a police officer on sets to monitor weapon safety.
"Every film/TV set that uses guns, fake or otherwise, should have a police officer on set, hired by the production, to specifically monitor weapons safety,” he wrote Monday.
Baldwin has been at the heart of an ongoing debate in show business about the use of real firearms on sets after a live round discharged from a gun he was holding on the set of "Rust" last month resulting in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

It wasn't a set in Hollywood. It was in Arizona. A sketchy cheap production company was used to save money. Hollywood movie set protocols were NOT used so don't blame the people who were not there.
Yeah. Have the police present and then arrest Alec.
What makes a cop a gun safety expert?
Hire a safety pro, not a LEO.
was there “plinking” with the same gun during lunch hour using live ammo? You use live ammo when shooting at targets. Did Alec participate in the plinking?
He hasn’t accepted one iota of responsibility, has he? This is really pathetic.
Cops have better things to do than babysit your retarded ass, Alec.

I do not expect Baldwin will be charged with any crime.
He is a rich Leftist celebrity, and the death occurred in a State with a Leftist Governor and in county with a Leftist District Attorney. The victims were from out-of-state and their families have no political connection they can call upon.
It's corruption, all the way down.
The Armorer is probably going to be the sacrificial animal in this drama. And she certainly deserves punishment. With a Spanish surname, she will likely draw a minimum sentence on some kind of criminal negligence charge.
Baldwin will continue to bloviate on gun control for years to come. I doubt he will ever work in the film industry again.
He could hire Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd. That dude knows all about shooting unarmed women!
Responsibility? All he did was pick up a gun, cock it, aim it at a person and pull the trigger. And you want to hold him responsible? As his defense attorney, I would point out that he is a good shot.
“It was in Arizona.”
New Mexico. Arizona has some issues, but that wasn’t one of them.
That will kill your cocaine buzz Mr.”Quick Draw” Baldwin.
Wow! Does he understand that he is a complete fascist! (He should be careful what you wish for.)
If he gets his way the police should also bring their drug sniffing dogs. They can screen Screen guild members bags for illegal substances and do weekly urine tests for drug use! Great chance to protect underage actors and actresses from Polanski wannabes.
I was using ‘Hollywood’ generically to refer to the industry. This is the first I have heard about protocols for handling firearms. Who promulgates them and do they have a n enforcement mechanism?
The instructor showed that film at my NRA hand gun course.
Leaving aside the incredibly bad weapons handling, WHY DID HE EVEN HAVE LIVE AMMO IN A ROOM FULL OF KIDS??
Is he a defund the police advocate?
I know of at least two ND videos of cops. One shot himself in the darned leg in front of a bunch of kids... The other shot a man in the chest with a taser gun... (psst, it wasn’t a taser).
Not only inexperienced, their covid protocols separate people into at least 3 groups only 1 group allowed to be on set and the cart was left outside the set unattended
