'I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger': Alec Baldwin weeps as he denies pulling trigger on gun loaded with 'a bullet that wasn't even supposed to be the property', during George Stephanopoulos interview

Single action pistols can have very light triggers that a very light touch will set off. He still had to cock the dammed thing though.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Another entry in the long saga entitled: “The gun just went off.”

[day10]

Actors will act.

[matt04]

Sure… The gun just shit itself after you pointed at someone without your grubby little hands touching the trigger.

The chance of that happening is so small it is not even remotely believable

[DannyTN]

Sounds like he didn’t even point at her, much less pull the trigger.

That is one faulty gun to go off and hit someone it’s not even pointed at.

[McGruff]

during an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos.

Did they have sex after?

The SUV committed mass-murder in Waukesha.

The gun killed Halyna Hutchins.

Funny, the Il-liberals weren’t blaming Kyle’s gun.

[pepsi_junkie]

Crocodile tears, okay. Fake declaration that he's in eternal torment, okay. But He took it too far. Saying he didn't point it or pull the trigger... he went full retard.

[jimmygrace]

Wow, liberals must be right all along! It’s the evil gun that is killing people!

[proust]

Beat me to it.

[SaxxonWoods]

Wait, the single action pistol fired itself? Did it cock itself too? did it aim itself?

“...and a lesbian to boot. The fix is in.”

He shot a woman, yes? I don’t know whether she was a sister of Sappho or not, but if she was...

[technically right]

It’s a single action revolver for f*cks sake. He had to thumb the hammer back first. Lock this f*cker up for ever. No one that stupid should be allowed to breath air.

[parmamenian]

Trump pulled the trigger!

[Colt1851Navy]

So we are to believe that the assistant director handed Smart Alec a cocked and loaded gun so is the director’s fault and whoever hired the idiotic armorer that didn’t know single action from double barrel and that all guns must be used properly or else bad stuff happens. Adult air rifles are to sophisticated these mental midgets.

[leaning conservative]

He’s possibly looking at charges & he’s being sued. Why would you be so stupid as to be interviewed? Does he even have a lawyer??

[Trillian]

Guns don’t fire on their own. What a horrible person.

[vpintheak]

But yet. He did. So there’s that.

[1Old Pro]

But yet. He did. So there’s that.

So the only conclusion could be that someone, or something, overcame his body and made him do it outside of his own powers.

[Roccus]

Safest place to be if he’s in possession of a firearm
