Alec Baldwin calls for police on film sets to monitor gun safety
One America News ^ | November 9, 2021

As Hollywood considers new safety measures following the fatal shooting during filming of Western movie “Rust,” actor Alec Baldwin said on Monday he believed film and TV productions should hire police officers to monitor weapons on sets.

Baldwin accidentally shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on Oct. 21 after being told the gun he was rehearsing with on the “Rust” set in New Mexico was “cold,” or safe to use, according to the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office.

...

“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,” Baldwin posted on Twitter.

How about we just pass laws that all films have to use multi-colored plastic toy guns instead?

why did the ‘anti-gun nut’ makes sure it did not have real bullets in it.
Does anyone know how many bullets was in it?

IMHO, I think it was not an accident!. He is so sure of himself that he thinks he can get away with it. Was there a ‘bit of hanky-panky’ going on?

Yep ... the NRA runs or trains most of the good police departments on firearm use and safety.

“Hold on there, Alec. Hollywood types wanted to defund the police.”

Baldwin's suggestion doesn't make sense, especially to certain communities where it is a well-known fact that police officers would rather shoot an urban youth than to put a nickel in the jukebox.

Police are not needed on movie sets for gun safety. What is needed is for slobs to check a gun for being loaded and for them to not point it at anybody. Treat any gun as though it is loaded. If people were not lazy to practice safety, nobody would be killed.

Hey Alec! Pay me $200,000 per year, and I’ll make sure you don’t screw up. You will have to do as I tell you with respect to handling firearms.
