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.

the RAT doth protest too much, methinks...
Trying to shift the blame to the already hated by the left police.
And to this day I haven’t heard an explanation why a movie set would ever need live ammunition (except by their security people).
watch the liberal squirm...he needs to be charged with criminal negligence and really squirm..it it was you or me or john doe they would arrested by now.
“Police don’t know sh!t about gun safety.”
Spot on, they need a trained combat arms specialist from the Military. Those guys will correct quick if you do something unsafe on a firing line.
What’s his stance on armed security in public skools?
Maybe if their “armorer” was a real one, this would not have happened. The gun and ammunition should only be accessible to the armorer. Instead they had things laying around with no control over any of it.
Guilty. Involuntary Manslaughter.
I started to pull up the video and decided to scan the thread first. Glad to see you already posted it.
Hire an NRA range officer and make a generous contribution as well.
LOL...I’ll often not scan the thread first, post something, and find somebody beat me to it. Glad the quick thread scan worked for you here!
Baldwin should use a wooden gun, dammit. It is all fake anyway.

Having police on a movie set to monitor gun safety? Really?
I thought the left wanted to reduce the number of police and transfer their duties to social workers.
How about Hollywood and the NRA get together and have NRA firearm safety instructors on movie sets and payrolls. Maybe some actual firearm safety rules and knowledge can be provided to the Hollywood elite.
He is shifting blame to the absence of a police state.
Hollywood unions have strict standards. If you want a quality work crew (Alec did not), you go with the pros. It costs more but it is safe (because of the safeguards) and you have a higher quality production.
What a moron.
Of course, the other obvious solution is to stop making movies that feature the usage of guns.
There are plenty good movies that don't have guns, such as Moneyball, Trouble With the Curve, Gravity, The Martian, The Astronaut Farmer.
The dead woman’s husband is in The Cankle’s law firm. I’ve been waiting for the sharks to hit.
Alec Baldwin could have prevented the whole thing himself by either one of two things. He could have opened the cylinder to see if the gun was loaded or he could not have pointed it at a human being. Ignoring both things was just being a lazy slob of a man. He was the one who was irresponsible.
